Phew! And we thought those Olympians ran hard

It's been a whirlwind day for us Discovery Adventurers. We woke up in Athens, and we are now at hotel alongside a beautiful lake 240 miles away. It wasn't all about travel today, though. Along the way, we laced up our inquistiveness, along with our "ooohs" and "ahhhs" as we traveled through Olympia and explored the site of the very first Olympic Games in 776 B.C. What a feat! Then it was off to our beautiful hotel at Kaiafas Lake. And yes, to the students' (and teachers') delight, there's a ... POOL! They are water-logged and resting for tomorow's busy day. Time slipped away so quickly today, you're going to have to wait until tomorrow for the awesome pictures. I can't wait to share. See you all then!

  9. Keith,

    Please let all of the Manalapan students and teachers know that I send my regards and hope they are having an outstanding time! The blog is bringing me back to my China experiences last summer. Anson, this is just another amazing DSA trip!! Please tell Jimbo that I anticipate coming back here daily to watch his videos and all of the NJ crew from China miss him greatly! Enjoy and take lots of pictures! Remember, when you get home the blog and pictures is all that you will have to share so don't leave a detail out and don't miss a moment. I love hearing and seeing everything!
