The back of the Charioteer:
From the top of Delphi we could see a lovely circular temple.... we asked and found it was part of the Delphi site. The tickets were included in the one for the main site. We were told a lot of people miss the lower temple: Temple of Athena. The entrance was across the road. We walked down the winding path until we came to the temple... It was elegant and beautiful. It dated from the 4th and 5th century BC. Three of the columns were restored. We got some great shots there.... from the bottom area we could see the Delphi temple far above us
One problem we saw. was there were a lot of thin, starving cats.... I went through my back pack and found a piece of toast from that morning. It was gone in a heartbeat. I kept thinking about the "temple cats". It bothered me that there were so many and so many youngsters.
I saved food from my breakfast the next morning and jumped the fence to take it down to them....David just about died.... he could just see me dragged to jail for felony cat feeding... We don't usually break rules but I couldn't stand not feeding the kitties before I left the area.... it was pitious seeing how hungry they were. Later that day, I bought some cat food at a pet store for the "temple cats".... I carried the food and fed cats as we went to different temples. everyone was happier then....
