We started off the morning with another hike/ walk around town. We found our friend that calls us America at his house. He invited us into his backyard and took this lovely pic of the whole crew in our matching shirts. Because you can’t see them, they all have the same emblem that says “Greece 2011 Hunts, Phillips, Keba”…. We have red ones from our Rome trip in 2008, they are pretty sweet. Our friend was pretty busy with all the animals that he has. There’s pics of his goats below, and of him taking care of his sheep.

After we went to Knossos, which was about an hour drive away. It’s an ancient palace in ruins, it was pretty cool, but not my favorite. We met two kids on our tour that are from Israel, one was 18 and about to go to the army in 6 months… they were so young but seemed way older than us. I couldn’t imagine going to serve in the army, it was just weird to think about, and especially not 3 years ago!

We then continued into the hills and down many random, windy roads to a winery. We got a little tour and then tried the wine and olive oil. The olive oil was my favorite, sooo good! I wish I had more room to pack stuff/ it was easier to bring home glass stuff.

On the way back, the kids and my dad stopped at a beach. It was a bit overcast, but we relaxed and discovered frappes with Baileys…yumm.
Dinner was back at the first Taverna that we went to in our village. Earlier that day we got a call that our friend Yonni had caught fish, so he made us dinner! The fish was really good, but it was hole and had tons of little bones in it. It was good enough though that it was worth the effort.
