This morning we went to Archemedies Museum. Wow, we didn’t realize how intelligent he was. They had examples of his inventions and his mathematical solutions. From there we went to the Olympia Site museum. As in Athens, they have taken the statues from the site and displayed them with context in the museum. After having been at the site, yesterday, we could see how it all fit together.

| An authentic Greek gyro |
After coffee (and a gyro for Deb), we left for Patras. Nothing special on the route. Patras is the third largest city in Greece and as with all of Greece has a huge parking problem. The streets are narrow and with cars parked on both sides, there is just enough room to drive a small car. Fortunately, the Bold Type Hotel has marked off several parking spots right in front of the building.
We took a walk around town (past an empty parking garage!…not doin’ €5 to park). Saw some Roman ruins, and a partially restored amphitheater. Had a cocktail in the garden of the hotel and went next door for small plates: French, Indian, and Thai. There was no traditional Greek food on the menu!
Tomorrow we wash clothes, turn in the car, and get on a ferry. All of these have some level of angst but we are going to get through it…calmly!
