Kavala and Philipi

Yesterday my parents, Ange and I went over to Kavala and Philipi for the day to see the sights. We ended up spending most of the day walking around Kavala, doing a little shopping and just seeing the city and in the afternoon decided to go to Philipi which is a 15 minute drive away.

Philipi is recently discovered ruins that were found just before we got to Greece in 1998, and since then it has easily quadroupuled in size. They just keep going up the mountian and finding more stuff. The cool thing here is that this is the area of the first Baptism, and the first running water toilet...so of course we took a picture with my dad on it :p
The walk around Philipi took about an hour and a half, while on the first trip (which I don't remember well- took about half an hour with a guide) We were amazed at the size of the area and how much the Greeks could get done with what they had.

All in all it was a great day of sightseeing, and I am (finally) getting over the allergies that I have had since I got to Greece...it only took 3 weeks for them to get better, but its a relief to not be sniffling and sneezing all the time, hopefully it stays that way!
