Kórinthos, Corinth

Emmy decided to get her hair colored and set, and whatever else it is they do in those places. We found a tasteful looking shop in Kórinthos with a nice looking lady whose hair was pleasantly styled, so we figured she must know what she is doing. Emmy has bottles of things she carries for such an occasion, but when she tried to discuss what to do with the Peroxide, they couldn’t understand each other. Finally they found a lady across the street who could speak English, and they all decided they could go ahead.

The hairdresser in Kórinthos was anxious to communicate with Emmy. She showed her a picture of a man on a tractor, and to let Emmy know it was her son, she touched her stomach. She showed pictures of her grandchildren, and later her daughter came to the shop. She is a very attractive young grandmother. Her husband drives a tour bus.

We parked for lunch (that is our Renault RV in the photo) on the edge of the ruin of old Kórinthos, then toured the ruins of this ancient town. The Apollo Temple still has seven of the original 38 columns, but they look different from those in the Parthenon in Athens. It appears the “ribs, or fluting” of the columns were made from a white stucco plastered over the stone, rather than being carved from the stone, or marble.
