at MARE restaurant on shore

well The keyboard is fine..right off..whle the screen will only stary ib portrait,,,  Oh wekll.

Went to check out buss for tomorrow and i have somethibg... but can only hope it is th right one. A loal person helped but was not sure,, I'll see tonorrow ... and i hope...

Went to the history museum... where I boted two thibgs.. in my notes....
1, mosaics may have beeb precursor to pointilism....  - and I could have realized this/checked this a long tine ago,, BUT  all things evebtually,... INTERSTINGLY
and more important to Greece/Crete trip...
2. Crrete was a war zone... a crossroads... as was Israel...I would say... Interestig.

.... well...
I just tried to talked to some young wonen sitting nearbye... one was smokg cigarette... and my queestion is why smke.. but her english not good adn my spanish... non-existant.. so ... no converstato... BUT I Wonder - are there adverts in europe ... or what?   AND HERE IS ... an idea for today's youth.... SMOKIBG IS NOT ADULT...  or even - THOSE ECO-KILLING ADULTS ARE THE ONES WHO SMOKE...  but not me... ETCETC...

------------------

Dinner,,, here at the MARE.... -- could be lamb souvlaki or a greek pasta - as per menu ---Skioufikta... - AHH,,, just noted the pasta has apaki which is pork... so ,... probably not.... OR when in Rome.. hnnn.. but this IS lamb land... Souvliaki it is.

bTW - last night's Cretan salad was a lot and fine and reproducable back hone,,, The gelato after was good - half chocolate cherry abd half dark chocolate... in a cup,,,, quite a lot, too... nicely dished out.

Today, tonight... since it is now 5:30... and Im about to have dnner is wait-person comes by .. will be more ouzo and the souvalki... and maye later the gelato.. from another stand. 

BTW - breakfast at the hotel was very good.... extensive buffet with chesses, breads, meats, sweeets... and coffee and jusice.. Quite a lot.... and good. Not terribly creative or special ... BUT VEry GOOD!!!!

-------------------------
Ordered the souvlaki - lamb... and asked for bread (I wonder if that will cost more??? No worries... nor will I argue... I have been warned on this so no problem... FYI... I ordered about 17:39 and the waitress used wireless microphone system to order.. and the ouzo arrived at 17:42 .... and we'll see about dinner.... Ah.   Came at 17:58

I may not care for licorice... but I DO LIKE... ouzo == which is, i think, licorice-flavored.. I like it a lot! SO - why do I not have some at home? I do have the Pastice which is French ,, and good. SO = I'm alright.... Just need to get on it...

BTW - this keyboard and I'm usig the stand... IS GOOD,,,,  ! Yea,,,

Sure hope it is saved!!!! I have written a lot at this tine.... MOREas the 2nd ouzo is imbibed... or bibed or whatever.I didn't ask for (though I thought about it) a beer... as there may not have been any drafts... abd there was a light lookibg Mythros brand beer in a bottle... but the 4 euro ouzo's seem a deal.!!!

--------------------------------------------

Still here... it is about 6:45... dinner done and ouzo is being felt... nice.. good I am near hotel... And generally near places i've been. No worrie about getting lost... so AOK....  but no more ouzo or such tonight.  Palace of Knosis tomorrow... at 11am which is a late but good time, I think. I do have to GET there.. And my bus arrangement is not certain. Ah... language and directsions... I DO get lost!

BTW (so many BTW's ) People travel with young children and even older children. .Nice.
