Olympia





Kalinikhta (goodnight)

Yesterday I went to Olympia with my family. Olympia was where the first Olympics started. In the first Olympics, little girls were not allowed and neither were married women because the men were naked when the Olympic games were played. Have you ever wondered what 'gymnasium' means? I know! I learned it yesterday! It means to practice or excercise naked or nude. Maybe one of you could tell Mrs. Denson that! I think she'll like that.

Last night I also went to Ageliki's for dinner. There was Greek dancing and singing. The singing and dancing were really pretty. It was a great end to the Peloponese and I can't wait to travel to Athens!
