Rob and I look back on our time in Ancient Corinth with fond memories and because of this it was on Cindy's must see list. Our friend, Sara, came along too, and the four of us set off for a fun two day trip. It began with a stop along the Corinth Canal, where the sunlight turned the water an amazing shade of blue.
Next we stopped at the ancient site of Corinth and got a close up look at the excavations. Cindy met the director of excavations, Dr. Guy Sanders, and got an excellent overview of the site.
Although one of my fondest memories of my first year in Greece was my daily 45 minute walk from the dig house to Acrocorinth we drove to the top to save a bit of time. I will never forget the view, it's spectacular!
The final site of the day was the Temple of Heracles. Sara has studied this temple for her dissertation and gave us a nice rundown of it's features. Because the temple is surrounded by a vineyard the location couldn't have been better!
