Revisiting the ruins of this ancient city was especially fulfilling for me
as this day was bright with sunshine the waves white, the sea the deepest
blue. This time I got to see the theater which still hosts Greek plays.

We ended our time in Sevastopol strolling the embankment and viewing the
many monuments including this one to the Scuttled Ships with a Russian
seaman standing thoughtfully in front. During the Crimean War, the Russian
admirals decided to prevent the English and French from taking the harbor
by sinking their ships in the entrance and moving fortifications. It was a
heroic choice, but did not stop the Allies.
