SMUS visits Ancient Messini

Today we visited Ancient Messini. We left in the vans at around 11 AM and got there around 12. In the blazing heat we walked around and eventually made our way to the amphitheatre. In this ancient ampitheatre we each performed something, whether it be a joke, a song or a broken version of our concours. After this, we went to the stadium. Here we learned about the difference between Greek and Roman stadiums. Greeks sat on grass while the Romans had benches, much like today. We "ran through Greek and Roman time periods" here, the stadium had both grass and benches which separated the eras. After we did this and took several photos, we left to have lunch at a tiny little restaurant.
