Corinth Canal

The Corinth Canal was constructed in 1880 by a Hungarian company. This same company constructed the Swiss Canal and began but did not finish the Panama Canal. It is 250 feet deep and only 80 feet wide. It was very intimidating to stand on the bridge and look over at the canal. The canal connects two seas together so that ships do not have to go around the Peloponnese Mountains.

There was a nice breeze on the canal bridge. Of course it was only 9:30 in the morning, but it was very welcomed. Yesterday was so hot!! I’m sure Ms. Iten was tired of hearing me say I was hot and stinky!
