DELPHI
On February 3rd, we headed out for Delphi, a two and a half hour bus ride from Porto Rafti.  There we visited the ancient temple of Apollo, where a psychic would give fortunes to those who sought their future.  The temple area is built right onto a mountainside, which provides an incredible view of the valley below and snow covered mountains which fill the area.  At the museum, we were able to view a stone tablet, which was addressed to Gallio, the proconsul of Achaia.  The tablet confirms the name, date and rank of the man who in Acts 18 threw out Paul's case and left the matter up to the Jews.
