Cruising Crete

Day six of our European Vacation began as we docked in Heraklion, Crete.

Mitch spent the morning diving with his buddies. He has never gone deep sea diving, but was able to go with a guide. He said that they didn't see much, the sea was not very clear that day. They did get an "eyeful" though.....Mitch said that his guide gestured for him to "look-up," and when he did........well, I am sure that you can imagine what he saw!

I spent the morning shopping with the girls. I loved the fact that we were in an area that was frequented by the locals......We even went to a Yard Sale that was raising funds for the Red Cross. We had gelatto (well, we had two....the man who waited on us remembered me and asked, "You're back again?") and a Starbucks, and then spent the rest of our time spending our Euros........I loved how clean and pretty the area was. There was a nice fountain in the middle of the square and a little park, and a few cafes with outdoor tables.

That evening on board the ship we went to the Captain's Formal Dinner. We dressed up in our "pretties" and had another delicious meal. I told Mitch that we have officially made it to adulthood......we have a photo of us, all dressed up, standing on the stairs of a cruise ship!
