in the valley sanctuary of Phocis – long lived the fallen world

It is said that this is the earth’s navel and seat of the oracle.

This is what I know:  Dhelfoi provides.  From the foothills of Mount Parnassus to the olive tree filled valleys which lead back to the Mediterranean maze.  This scenic sanctuary, this rich land (known to me as Delphi) has always attracted tourists, many of which with very large armys.  The ancestors were kind enough to leave their temples, amphitheaters, and legends.  I’ll settle for simple images, a perfect breeze, some self reflection, the unforgettable vista and all the olives I can mortally consume.

I like to think I left the most indelible of marks.

Part 4: Historically lost / from sea —> silent siren

Head North with the breeze and traverse the sea with relative ease  –>

Disembark onto the mainland then drive West, pass Apollo’s holiday home and so begins the confusion of signs –>

Bypass the bridge now through the Corinth and you’ve traveled into another ancient world –>

Not to worry, getting lost is all part of the journey <–

Stop when you’ve reached the silent siren –>
