After spending a few days in lovely Athens, we headed out of the city to the Peloponnese, which took us across the canal of Corinth and through some breathtaking mountain scenery. For some reason, most of us had no idea we would see such beautiful landscapes, and we didn’t realize how much we missed seeing all that lush green vegetation!

Our destination was the seaside town of Naufplio, which was as charming and picturesque as you’d imagine. But before arriving there, we stopped to visit the ancient city of Mycenae. Keegan was able to tell the group about some of the Greek mythology he’s been learning, which was exciting for us, his proud parents.
