Greece - Our "Digs"

During Carolyn's Fall break from school (yes back in October) we packed up the crew and headed to Crete for a week of sun!  Considering that we are still having snow in Germany.  Snow in March just seems weird.  I have enjoyed going back and looking through all of my pictures of sunny Greece!



Here is our crew.. we went with our friends The Barkers.  All of our girls are about the same age.



Before we got there I was reading the directions to our townhouse and it kept talking about watching for goats sleeping on the road.  Brian and I laughed, but you would not believe the goats that were everywhere. Crete is definitely different from anywhere we have ever been.  Since it was the end of tourist season, there really weren't that many people and it was almost like we weren't supposed to be here.



Our townhouse..



complete with olive trees growing behind it



and surrounded by mountains.  We quickly realized that to get anywhere we had to wind up and down these mountains.



The owner of our townhouse also ran a little Taverna within walking distance that had the best food!  I had never really been a fan of lamb until this trip.  I would love some lamb with cheese sauce from this restaurant right now!



Our view from the Taverna and the trees that the girls lived in while we ate.



These four had a ball just around our house whether it was watching some TV before we would head out or



doing a little skinny dipping in our pool.



What a sunset!  Can I go back right now??
