Corinth

Rob and I have spent the past three weeks living in Corinth, Greece! He has been working on the excavations at the ancient site, and I have been working in the museum. For some reason, I'm not able to put our pictures in order, so I'm just going to explain each one as you see them. :)




This shot shows the small village of Ancient Corinth. The village is very small, but being here has been a great change of pace for both of us.




Here you see the Temple of Apollo in the ancient site at sunset. The sunsets in Corinth have been beautiful and we will definitely miss them when we return to Athens.



This is a view from our hike up Acrocorinth (which you'll see a picture of below). You can see the ancient site as well as the sea!





These two photos show Rob working in his trench. The first picture shows what the workmen do to Rob when he makes them dig too hard! Notice the box in the second picture...this contains the small finds that they have found for the day.




Rob and I have been making the climb up Acrocorinth almost daily and these two photos show Rob at the base of Acrocorinth and again near the top. The only thing that beats the amazing workout on the way up is the view!



While working in the museum one of my 'jobs' has been to inventory the sculpture. So far I've been through about 4000 pieces, mostly made of marble like the statues you see here.



Don't tell Rob's mom, but I've learned how to practice my clarinet while reading the news on wowt.com and google chatting with Zac!!



Finally, here is a shot of Boukman! Boukman is the mid-morning break we have (breakfast is at 7:00 and lunch is at 14:00) so we don't die of hunger before lunch. Sandwiches, strawberries, coffee, and tea seem to keep everybody happy!
