Delphi & Carnival: photos & captions by Amanda Berger

 This is a two hundred meter field or stadium where men competed while at Delphi.

After leaving Itea, we traveled along the coast and stopped at a
small port town where the water was turquoise.

Our first stop in Patras was Saint Andrew's Eastern Orthodox cathedral
where we saw beautiful murals and mosaics.

The murals and mosaics were all very detailed.

We then walked to the festival parade where everyone was dressed up in costumes. Many people were dressed up with a partner or in groups. The Carnival prepares people for Lent and welcomes Spring.

Each little town or organization had their own floats or theme.
There was lots of music, whistles, streamers and energy.

Emma and I purchased masks to take part in the carnival.
