I am a native in this world And think in it as a native thinks

Olympia
Today we drove into the Peloponnese and visited the site of the original Olympic Games. This picture, taken near the entrance to the archaeological site, doesn't show any of the important structures, but does capture the mood of the day. The weather was perfect, there were few other tourists, and unlike Delphi, there were no stairs to climb. It was idyllic.
