Stanley on a windy day in front of the Temple of Apollo
Corinth Excavations has a very special visitor this week—Flat Stanley arrived from Ohio to stay for one week, see the archaeological site and take in a little Greek culture. Stanley was sent by Isaac Bement for a project for Mrs. Galvin’s third grade class at Salem Christian Academy. In a few short days Stanley had reported back on the Temple of Apollo, St. Paul and the Bema, Greek Orthodox Lenten customs, Corinthian topography, climate, local tourism and agriculture, history of excavation at Ancient Corinth, Greek cuisine and junk food. He also fit in a visit to Greece’s first capital, Nafplio. Next, Stanley is going to experience Corinth’s geology and hydrology though the monuments of Peirene and Hadji Mustapha, see modern Greek building practices, and a rescue excavation. He will be staying thorough the Independence Day celebration on March 25th. For those of you that are wondering, it’s not Stanley’s first visit to Greece. This link shows that he also visited the Athenian Agora with other hosts!
