Oh my gosh so many stairs!

Visited Delphi today, saw the temple of Apollo and the temple of Athena, a museum, the town and an old church I can't remember the name of. Lots of stairs, lots of sunburn. The thing that frustrated me the most is probably all the stairs. I can take a lot of walking, but what kills me is stairs. My one true enemy: stairs. I trip over them, I slip and slide and fall, and there's so many here. It makes sense because there's a lot of mountains here and it's a modern-ish way of traversing them. I'm more amazed at how people of the ancients managed to get giant things of marble and rock up the mountains to build all these giant temples to the gods. Not even just the ruin part, which would still be astounding in itself but complete buildings. And I get tired just walking up a few hundred steps. I did it though, and it was worth it. It'll be more worth it if I develop rock hard abs by the end of this trip. Opa!
