Just down the road from Antioch we stopped at was once the Greek city of Daphne. Legend has it that Apollo fell in love with Daphne and chased her around the city. She didn't feel the same so she begged Mother Earth to hide her. So she was turned into a laurel tree. Apollo took some of her branches and made himself a crown and started a fashion trend that lasted a couple thousand years. This city used to boast several Greek temples but they have all been lost to earthquakes, fires, and wars.We walked around this little nature trail and enjoyed the waterfalls and nature. The tour guide called it a little piece of paradise.
The ducks were enjoying life.
A cool little colony of mushrooms.
I think Doug could have a future career as a nature photographer. Leapin' lizards!
We noticed all these little crabs tucked away in holes near the water.
