Greece for a day, Math Pictures

I took a two hour ferry ride to the Greek island of Samos for the day today. Got to like the idea of going to Greece for the day. It is where the town of Pythagoria is and the math teacher had to visit there. They have a statue of Pythagorous and we use his theorem all the time at school. It turned out to be a national holiday in Greece so there were no busses running, tourism office was closed but I still made it to the other side of the island to Pythagoria, just had to go by taxi. So it was a bit of an effort and expense so that is why I took so many pictures of the statue and you may not like any of them from today. I hope to use them in future math lessons.

Way to go visiting Pythagorous. Did they tell you in the tour that he didn't actually come up with the theormum himself? Who told us that - Stefan maybe???
