I have a connection today for the first time since Milan, but not too much time to type since its just at a little internet cafe in our hotel.  I have been in Chania the past couple of days and it is as amazing as it was when I was here a couple weeks ago.  The weather usually hits close to 100 degrees each day, but there’s always a nice breeze to make it comfortable.  The average day so far has included a trip to one of the many beaches here, then a walk around Old Town, followed by a late dinner and a couple drinks at an outdoor bar.  Unfortunately since I can’t connect from my laptop, I likely won’t be able to push the remaining Venice, Verona, Milan, and Chania pictures out for quite a while.

Thanks to the many notes I have already received for my birthday.  I won’t have time to respond to them today, but will try over the next day or two.  We spent the day at the beach and tonight will be going out to a nice traditional Cretan dinner, then to a couple of the clubs.  Tomorrow I think we’re going to drive down to South Crete to check out the mountains out there, then Thursday we’ll be going to see some ancient ruins.  Friday is the wedding reception, then I have a couple more days before starting my two part journey back home.

Here’s the site for our hotel where we are staying.  The main scolling pictures are our view, top (3rd floor) overlooking the harbor.  It’s pretty amazing http://www.thehotel.gr/lucia-hotel

Take care,
