| Model of Ancient Nemea |
The Archeological site and museum of Ancient Nemea included the Temple of Nemean Zeus, baths, guest houses, and a stadium.
This was one of four locations that held Olympic games. And Nemea is also the place where Hercules finished his first labour of killing the lion.

| Bath ruins |
When we went to the stadium a little further from the site we walked through a tunnel. This is the same tunnel athletes used to walk through and would write on the walls while waiting for their names to be called.
What was really unique about this particular stadium was that spectators that didn't want to sit in the grass would carve their own seats out of the hillside.
Then we all lined up and ran a race like the ancient Greeks!

| On your mark, get set... |

| ...GO!!!! |

| Jumping for joy after our race! |
After Nemea we went wine tasting at a local winery.
It was my first wine tasting ever. We tried two white wines and two reds. I preferred the first white and the first red, but I'm still acquiring my taste for wine. :)
