A Trip to Greece and the Hot Gates at Thermopylae

June 10th, 2009

If you have been following my blog you know I just recently returned from a trip to Japan which was simply outstanding. The trip was loaded with all the things I love about Japanese culture including Samurai, Origami, Bonsai and Medieval castles. I still have a lot of stuff about that trip that I will be posting, including more videos, pictures and commentaries. But first I wanted to let you know about my next trip. I am booked and all set for an adventure in Greece. And one of the first things I am going to do is pay a visit to Thermopylae (which is the scene for the famous battle of the 300 Spartans). That should be a fun day.

 You probably know that I am a big fan of the movie  ( 300 (Two-Disc Special Edition) ) and I have even made myself a massive diorama of the battle scene:

Anyhoo, I will keep you posted on how it goes and if you have been to Greece I would love to hear your suggestions on what I should see and do there. Lots and lots of Medieval stuff I would imagine and I am going to have a real hard time budgeting my hours and days! Please, If you have some advice on how I should adventure in Greece I would love to hear it!
