If it weren't for the ruins, I could confuse that place for the central california coast.

Just missed them.

They did a LOT of work on that country for the games. New airport for Athens, new highways, mass transit, etc. I did get to see the outside of some of the venues, which were pretty impressive.

I've also been to the Temple of Posiedon (gale force winds, mind you, almost got knocked right off that cliff), and the theatre/stadium @ Delphi. That theatre has crazy good acoustics when someone is speaking in the center, you can hear it from the top row as if someone is standing next to you.

I remember that as well. Pretty neat.

I have a bunch more pictures that I will hopefully get around to sorting and I will post some more when I get the chance.
