Oct. 10 the city of Olympia

 Pictures taken on a walking tour of the ancient site of Olympia ruins.

First we went inside the museum and got a history lesson 

Outside we saw the original stadium where event were held every four years. There were other events held at e other cities annually. At these events there was only one winner, no 2nd or 3rd as there are now. The winner was crowned with an Olive or Laurel wreath .

Many of the columns and walls were toppled over from earthquakes and a large tsunami, then buried under several metres of dirt.

I will add some additional pictures of Olympia later, when I am able to download them from my camera to my phone.
