Ancient Olympia
I’d like to tell you we had a bunch of fabulous adventures during the ten days we stayed at Camping Ionion Beach, but we didn’t do much of anything. We are coming up on our third anniversary of our move …
Greece, finally!
We sped into Greece and didn’t stop until we were well past the point where the border police might chase us down. It is not unheard of for travelers to be stopped well after crossing a border. This isn’t just …
