Harvest moon!



A full moon again, so time to update! Chloe joined us from 3rd to 13th September filling the gap between her gap year and going to Brighton Uni.

It was the first time she had seen the new apartment and she was particularly taken with the bougainvillea and view on our balcony.

We had a week in Paleo with plenty of beach time, wind-driven days at Anidri and the Viena, good meals and stories from Chloe of Cuba, S America, Morocco, our flat in Fuerte, Tribe of Doris Festival and Oxford japes. She made a collection of photos around the village to share on Facebook with all those similarly-aged guys and gals who no longer loaf around here in August.

We then had three days camping at Mithimna (see earlier postings) - very quiet and a bit windy! On the Friday we went to do some business in Chania and had a Chinese meal - with duck!- bliss! On Saturday we investigated the Akrotiri and found a very pleasant beach at Kalathas. Then Chloe took the ferry back to Piraeus and we drove back to Mithimna.

Yesterday we came back home to Paleo. The weather had apparently been very good whilst we were away. The main topic of conversation in the village - of course - is the collapse of XL and Kosmar.
