Ancient Corinth

• Ancient Corinth is in a different location than today Corinth.
• From the outside our lodging reminded me of a vintage cruise ship on land, complete with an elevator from who knows when. There were no closing doors or gates as we went up and down. We could see and feel the walls of the building. Our living quarters were surprisingly nice inside. I forgot to take pictures. Oh, except we had to turn on the the hot water tank prior to using it, let the water heat up, AND remember to turn off all power to the tank before taking a shower OR we could possibly be electrocuted. I know my dad could have fixed this problem for sure!

• Temple of Apollo…Pictures can be taken from behind an iron fence when the area is closed.

• Erastus Stone reads “Erastus Edil laid the groundwork for his expense.” Erastus is mentioned in Romans 16:23, Acts 19:22, and 2 Timothy 4:20 by Paul. We found out about him and this stone by watching a clip from “Drive through History”

• Freely exploring Ancient Corinth, specifically the Ancient Theatre and surround areas, was REALLY FUN, especially thinking about Paul having walked the same area almost 2000 years ago. We found bones in the 10 foot dirt piles along the area. A little unsettling, however research claims the area may have been for discarded cattle.

• Good food and ice cream ended the day. Do not forget multiple cats encircling the outdoor tables, not so pleasant.
