We went to Greece, to Crete and I went with no expectations. Well other than knowing it would be very warm and I wanted to feel relaxed and watch my kids absorb a new culture. And we did just that, had a relaxed, fun time.  We went to the beach everyday and when we weren't applying sun lotion we were eating things with olive oil.  It was all very Greece-y. I have a new appreciation for Greece added to my previous appreciations from The Durrells of Corfu (Masterpiece Theater and that is a two thumbs up recommendation to watch) and the Mama Mia movie.

I ended up getting too much sun but to swim in the sea with the clear water and pretty little fish darting around felt unreal in a good way. We walked a lot and had a messy
gyro sandwich that was so sinfully delicious no other will ever compare. Sometimes I don't realize that we all keep so busy and when we can press pause and escape the routine it always does wonders. Opa Opa!
