Farmer's Market

Farmer's Market

Farmer's Market was a find!  Beautiful, luscious veggies, homemade cheeses, bags of dried beans, fat olives plus ...shoes, underwear, socks, purses..household goods. Something for everyone. Something that is different here than in America is...no toothpicks! At farmer's markets in America you have to pick up food with toothpicks and usually the person cutting the fruit or veggies to be consumed by the customer has to wear plastic gloves. Not here, it's a finger free for all.
   Another thing is the Greek pushiness. Somehow we ended up with an incredible bag of small dandelion like edibles. We only wanted a few, but in the end we left 5 euros lighter and saddled with a humungous bag of these greens.

Cretans love their local produce and typically eat in season.

Wave Watching

The weather is changing here. Just last week we were frolicking in the ocean and I was worried about adding to my freckle collection. Today, the waves are tumultuous and the skies are overcast.

Dinner at Katelli
Kastelli is a beautiful town. Venetian ruins and small streets punctuate this lovely place. We discovered a natural spring, a church and 

little house that covered the rushing spring

This date was on the little house covering the spring. 

We put our phone through a little hole and took a picture. This is an old spring. There
is trash but there was also an eel in there!

this is the original bell from the church

This looks just like Mexico doesn't it? This is a church established in mid 1800's.
