I'm going to Greece?!



Hey guys! Sorry it's been awhile since my last blog post, I've been busy with work and I just started college again.

Speaking of college, I have some interesting news! If you can't tell by the title, I have the chance to go to one of my dream places in the world .I'm making this blog to inform you about an International Education program offered at my college; SUNY Adirondack. This coming May, the Anthropology classes(along with students from different majors) are taking a trip to Greece. This trip is for 2 weeks in May and will count as a credit for college. As of now I don't have a lot of information due to the fact college just started. I do know the main reason we're going is to "visit the heartland of art, science, anthropology, archaeology, and the humanities."(got this off the poster I was given) In this group i'll keep everyone updates and different fundraisers I'll be doing until the end of April.Feel free to share this blog/any events.

Below I have the widget that you're able to donate at. I'll keep everyone updated about different events that I hold and how much I've made.

What I'm Doing in Greece. 4-6

Day 04: 23 May NAUPLIA Drive Nauplia via Corinth, Mycenae and Epidaurus Theatre This morning after breakfast we depart and dive to Nauplia via visits to Corinth, Mycenae and the Epidaurus Theatre . We first drive to ancient Corinth for a brief visit. During the 6 th century BCE, Corinth was one of the three major powers in Greece and took part in all the battles against the Persians. That Corinth was one of the richest Greek cities is made evident by the extensive remains, including the huge Agora (market place) and the Apollo Temple , which we visit. We then continue to Mycenae . The Citadel of Mycenae occupies the triangular summit of a low hill between two gorges. The Mycenaeans excelled in a style of building using large, unworked stones. These massive fortifications were begun in the 14 th century BCE, followed by Tiryns and Dendra, Argos and Athens, as well as a host of subsidiary forts and, eventually, a huge wall across the Corinthian Isthmus. The famous Lion Ga...

What I'm Doing In Greece 10-12

Day 10: 29 May O/N FERRY HD tour: Meteora. Drive Piraeus via Thermopylae. Ferry This morning we depart the hotel on a half day tour to visit the Monasteries of Meteora. In the afternoon we drive to Athens via Thermopylae. Meteora is one of the largest and most important complexes of Eastern Orthodox Monasteries in Greece, second only to Mount Athos. The monasteries are built on natural sandstone rock pillars at the north-western edge of the Plain of Thessaly. This morning we visit several monasteries (usually 3 in total; periodic closures determine which ones we visit), including the Metamorphosis (Grand Meteora), built on the highest rock at 613m (2,030 ft.). Its striking series of frescoes depict the persecution of Christians by the Romans. We then visit two other monasteries (depends on which are accessible on the day). After our monastery visits, we pick up our bags from the hotel and depart for Athens, stopping to visit Thermopylae , en route. It was at Thermopylae where t...
