| In order for us to see more of the site, our tour boat captain dropped us off on one side of the ruins and picked us up on the other side. He had his nine year old son be our tour guide. As this was Mary�s first hike since her operation, she had checked beforehand that it would be an easy hike. Unfortunately, nine year old boys think differently. Speaking only the two English words �come� and �no�, he led us through the ruins. Thinking we had to ascend a part of the knoll behind the Roman theater to get to the other side, we cruisers willingly started to climb the rocks behind our fearless leader, only to find out in the end that we had climbed up the rocks just for the view. And, as one knows, it is much easier to climb up a hill than go down. |
