The Ferry, Sfinadi and an old fashioned photography exhibit a chuch in a cave

Do you see the ferry at the port? The really huge one with semi trucks and cars driving into the hull and people streaming in to get to Athens? You can't really miss it. You don't see it? Well, neither did we.  It appears our version of "Greek time" didn't correspond with Greece's version.
It will be another 24 hours before another ferry is ready.

Here' s what we did today- which probably didn't help us make the ferry but did warm our heart and feed our souls. Besides cleaning and getting the workers situated for work done while we are gone we also visited some relatives and since we were in Chania anyway with nothing to do after the ferry incident we went to the historic park and took in a photography exhibit in Chania and came across a lovely 9th century cave church.

This is the very lush village of Sfinadi. This is Georgia's house- as beautiful as she is.

Such a beautiful and quintessentially cretan home. 

Bee boxes- you can see bee boxes dotting many areas of Crete. 

Georgia and Nico and family- The food and wine on the table was
from their land. Delicious! 

The bunnies! The kids remembered the bunnies from our last trip when they were able to hold baby bunnies and the bunnies peed all over them. The kids have that as a great memory and bee-lined it for the bunny area. The bunnies were too big to hold but they still enjoyed seeing them. These bunnies are used as meat for such delectable dishes as stifado. 

We also enjoyed visiting with Michaeli and Cleanthes. We visited while enjoying grapes and pears and good company. 

We said goodbye to Stellios the Magnificent. He owns and runs  the best souvenir shop in Crete
plus he is our friend. Many thanks to Stellios for bringing over grapes, tsikoudia, wine, tomatoes  and some great
nights out with his family.

 This is church from the 9th century-

This is Mano posing in front of a painting of the entrance to the garden in Old Chania. One thing about Greece is they don't have automatic closing times. The cafe was a little bit closed but they opened it up so we could see the photography exhibit. This happened at a few places. This would never happen back home that I can think of but here, they willingly open up things for people even when they have closed it for the night.
More pics to come... have to run to catch the boat!!!
