Today we went back to the Agora to look at some other monuments and ruins. We climbed up to the Temple of Euphestus and it is so beautiful! The pollution has discolored it a bit and it has sufferent some Earthquake damage but I think it may be one of my favorite things. I love that it looks old but it's actually pretty in tact. I think the darker marble and slightly toppled columns just add to it's appeal.
We headed down and looked at a jail cell which was interesting. It was only four by four feet, it would be horrible. We also looked at a water clock used in the courts and a marketplace. I honestly have no idea how these archeologists come up with these things. How can you look at eight rocks stuck in the ground is a jail cell? Part of me thinks it's amazing but the other part of me thinks it's just ridiculous. I'm not sure of what I think but my Professor and the rest of the world thinks it's totally correct! Maybe the rest of my two months will convince me otherwise.
I spent a lot of time at CYA today finishing the research on my paper and starting it. Unfortunately I'm pretty slow at writing papers but I'm not too worried about it. I just want to get it over with! About to go to dinner at a terrace taverna we saw earlier today, tomorrow we head to Delphi!
