Well I think our craziness of last week, doses of nyquil and the traveling over an ocean finally caught up with us since we slept for 14 hours straight last night waking up at 2pm local time. We are well rested now. We explored Rethymno harbour a town about 10mins from where we are staying in today. Had a lunch of Gyros stuffed with fries ( thats how they serve them here) After lunch we explored the shops that had hand embriodered linens, carved olive wood and paintings. We then headed up the hill to the Venitian fortress which had amazing views of the harbor. We took tons of pictures and videos of the fortress and its many structures including the Ibrahim Han Mosque which was originally the Venetian Cathedral. After the fortress we drove inland along the narrow hilly country roads. At one point Jessica got us wedged down a crooked alley that shrunk in size as we drove deep down the alley. Eventually getting us so stuck that we had to reverse back down the entire alley, thankful the only thing harmed in the process was a misplaced tree. We did seem to entertain the local old men with our antics. We went to a really great little market and bakery in a small village, very tasty. In the market there were casks of wine mounted on the wall. We filled a water bottle full for .75 euros pretty cheap! We also got some great views of goats chillin in the road eating weeds from rocks and mountainous terrain. We have no just got back to the hotel from dinner we ate at a cute sidewalk restaurant – we had pizza( which seems pretty popular here) and wine. they also bring out toast points looked like large croutons with butter and the best olive spread. They also brought out dessert of banana, apple with honey and nuts with some whipped cream on top very yummm!

Tomorrow we are going to Irakleio to a street marked hoping to find some local olives! And then we are going to a winery.
