Ocean Views

Today was our last excursion in Greece. We were able to explore on our own for a while in the morning and snag some great deals...unfortunately no gelato was open :(

Next we made a trip to the Temple of Poseidon. This was odly exactly like the Parthenon and honestly after seeing so many ruins of the same exact things, I am less than interested. So instead we escaped the group down to the rocky coast an played around. It still amazes me how far out you can still see the bottom of the ocean! It is the clearest water I have ever seen! 


After this we made way to a monestary. This was super interesting to learn about. There are 10 nuns living in the monestary we visited and the one giving the tour told us all about their life and how they've devoted their lives to this. Gotta say, although I do want to be a missionary, living secluded with only women and no "fun" doesn't really appeal to me that much. However, it was very cool to see how they live and how they got there!
