June 24, 1969 Delphi, Greece

It is what is called 'miserably hot'.  We are on our way to visit the Oracle at Delphi on the slope of Mount Parnassus.  I was intrigued with Greek mythology in high school and this is something I have long looked forward to.  This is a view of the Tholos of Delphi, east of the main ruins.   The city dates to the 4th century B.C.

Yes, we spent the entire day in the ruins.  I spent $2.00.
