Dodóni, Theater

We turned off the main road and went many miles to Dodóni, to see some more ruins, and a large Greek theater. The area is fascinating with beautiful scenery, walls and columns from the scattered ruins of the ancient buildings and ruins from a Byzantine church, erected in the middle ages.

Where the road to Dodóni leaves the main highway, we can see a large new development of some kind. Seems to be a lot of apartment or office type buildings, and many other large buildings—looks like a college campus. We were later told this is a university or hospital donated to Greece by Germans. We don’t know who or why, and we couldn’t get additional information.

There are flocks and flocks of sheep around here, and the grazing land looks much greener than a few hundred miles south of here. Emmy seems to be allergic to something in this area (certainly not the driver!), she sneezes, but doesn’t have a cold.
