It was a cloudy and windy Halloween morning as we climbed up to the site of Gla where Mike gave his report.
Our next stop was at the sanctuary of Apollo Ptoion where Margie told us about the temple specifically and Boeotia in general.
Then it was back to Levadhia for lunch before we met at the site of the Oracle of Trophonius in a lovely little area with a stream and a footbridge. Jon gave his report on the Oracle, explaining that may have been located in a nearby cave.
The cave itself was appropriately creepy.
We finished the day at the temple of Zeus in Levadhia where Professor Robert Pitt of the British School talked to us about the building inscriptions he'd found in this yard of blocks giving important information about the construction of temples.
The temple itself is poorly preserved.
Before we left, the sun tried poking out from behind the clouds.
