M10: Greek Photo Safari

This is the first day that I was in Greece. I froze. This is the place where the battle of Thermopylae to took place. I am absolutely sure that I'm in the right place.





This is my first stop. The Greek marketplace. There was a caboodle of people there. I stood there, not knowing where to go first, wondering where the instruments were at.








 This is a drachma. It is Ancient Greek money. I am not sure how much it's worth, but it must be worth a lot since it is made out of gold. I remember when I bought a sandwich for one drachma.





This is from the battle of Thermopylae A.K.A. the battle of 300. As we fought, I saw that one of the Persians was speckled all over.

This is my shield. I got it for free from a blacksmith, and I used the miniature shield to cut of Xerxes right hand. He looked like a zombie when he was yelling in agony.

 

This is the golden necklace I got for free for my mother. Waking quietly, I left the the jewelry shop.

 

   This is barley. I got some for my father at the Greek marketplace. The guy who sold it to me had an enormous field of this stuff. The farmer yelled after he sold me the barley from his farm.

                                                                                                          

As Xerxes yelled, I threw my mini shield at his hand. His screaming was so loud that it echoed through the mountains.

This is what I yelled when the battle of Thermopylae had started. I'll give you a replay.
 " This --- Is --- Spartaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"




                                                                                     



This is all the protection the Greeks had when they were boxing. It isn't much protection but the Greeks enjoyed watching it in the Olympics.





This is modern boxing. You punch your opponent really hard in the face; then you wait for them to fall on the ground.
