Across Crete in 30 Days
In our 60th year Gordon & I have decided to simplify our lives, lighten our load and take off on several long trips of horizon expansion & global exploration...otherwise known as TRAVEL. Please join us, dear friends and family, as we embark on a discovery of the beautiful island of Crete via London.

This is Sharon Stetter, a friend from Bisbee whom we had been traveling with, along with her husband Curt, until just a few days ago. This was a misty beautiful hiking day way up in the mountains in Milia.

Fresh trout and salmon dinner
Then at the end of the meal our handsome, friendly waiter brought us several rich pieces of chocolate cake topped with this amazing ROSE marmalade made from the local wild roses.
It's hard to explain how wonderful the flavor of this rose stuff was.....it tasted just like what a rose smells like! I carried on so much about it that he gave me a container filled with it to take with us. When I offered to pay for it he said "No, no, no...from us to you"
Did I mention how warm and truly wonderful the people of Crete are???
Did I also mention that he brought us a small bottle of the local homemade liquor, Raki?
I could get used to this stuff. ..... and this fantastic island.
