It's Not Hesus! It's ZEUS!

Our second group trip was to the ancient site of Olympia.  Many will know this one by the colossal statue it once had in the main temple in gold and ivory ... It's one of the seven ancient wonders of the world.  We had a tour guide, but my friend and I got quickly bored, so we wandered off by ourselves and made our visit extra exciting...  Other buildings at the site that we saw were the temple of Hera, the stadium, the one erected column of the temple of Zeus, byzantine structures and a truck load of rubble that was once all part of columns and roofs.  The first structure we past by really set the tone for the rest of the visit... As you can see in by this picture

At one point, we got lost in the midst of massive stones because we hadn't paid attention to the ropes that were actually blocking off the area we were in...  I guess we somehow got into that area by the back or something, I dont' know.  Anyway, it was pretty damn funny!

The stadium, what's left of it, is pretty impressive... I would have gone for a run I think... If I hadn't gone out the night before... OOPS.
The site has a museum right next to it and that's where all the magnificent statues are located. I got some good shots too... You'll just have to wait!
We walked over and on our way, there was a Greek who was offering horse buggey rides to and from the parking lot... He was cute, mmhmm!
When we were heading back to the bus after the museum visit, my friend screamed out of nowhere as we were crossing a small bridge... A FREAKING SNAKE was slithering in between the guardrails.. GROSS ME OUT.

This trip turned out to be a whole lot of fun... especially after I clued in that this temple of Zeus, is the actual temple of ZEUS, and no just some other temple dedicated to him!
