We got up this morning and went down for a very nice hotel breakfast. From there, we left to go to EPidavros. On our way there we stopped and looked at a Mycenean bridge which is not even worth mentioning. At Epidavros we saw the sanctuary and the alter and the round tholos. You could not tell much of any of htem. We went into the museum too. Then we went and saw the theater. I twas so cool. We had a little math lesson there. Everything is based around the Fibinachi series 1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34,55... and the Golden number 1.6 something (the ration of two numbers). It is really cool because they thought of it thousands of years before. We got to play on the the theater too. It is the one where you could drop a pin and hear it everywhere. Joanna stood in the middle and did her loud whistle. We left from there and stopped to get bread for lunch. Then we headed to a little church and had a crappy pincic. It was really pretty but it was too windy. From there we walked to the Franchthi cave. It was the coolest thing. We got to climb up these huge rocks into another part of it and there was this hole 140 feet deep. Luckily climbing down was a lot easier. That was all of the school stuff of the day. When we got to the hotel, Helen's boyfriend was there with a friend of his. We all went for coffee. Neither of them were terribly friendly so it was kind of boring. We went to the other hotel to see what everyone else was doing and Larry had made reservations for dinner. We did not want to go anyway so we made plans with JOanna's cousin. We took a cab into Argos and found her. She was with her boyfriend John and her friend. John was a cutie and reminded me of John S. We went and had coffee and then waited to go out. We went to Blaze that had live Greek music. Joanna was not feeling too good because she had taken aspirin and had coffee and had not eaten so we went to get some food. We found some sandwich place and ate. When we got back to the club she threw up. So we pretty much picked up and left. It was a waste of what could have been a really fun night. But I really liked Argos. There were tons of people around. I met a guy Michael from their village who was very nice. But Nafplio and Argos and definitely places I would like to see agian. I should mention that Nafplio is overpopulated with groups of teenage males.
