Beach Day, Part 2

        Flexibility is the key to travel with Anna.  When we flew from Thessaloniki to Crete dinner was on Crete at 8:00. At the beach a ham and cheese sandwich in a local shop called to me. It was so good an hour later I had a second thinking it's a long time until 8:00. Back on the bus after the beach as we headed back to Chania we stopped at a village for dinner...4:00! At least I wasn't tempted to overeat at the feast that followed. 😋

      After dinner, as we motored back, we took a side trip to see a tree. What's so special about a tree that would bring some twisting mountainous roads and a few miles? Well, this tree is between 3000 and 5000 years old! The precise date cannot be determined because the core has disintegrated so usual dating methods don't work. Appropriately for Greece it is an olive tree!
