Mycenae was the hub of Mycenaean civilization around 1600 B.C. The Mycenaeans are a bit of a mystery but the hunch is that they were influenced by the Minoans on Crete. They seemed rather advanced utilizing a writing system and developing their own monetary methods. After walking around "more rocks" (per the kids), we headed to Nafplio for lunch and a gentle, small town tour. Later, it was laundry and a home cooked meal of sausages sautéed with peppers and onions, and cucumber feta salad courtesy of Lee, and fresh oranges for dessert.
