Crete

My boyfriend and I had been fighting with each other across Europe. We came down through Yugoslavia on a train to Athens. A boat took us to Crete in the late summer. We found a white washed room in a little in on the beach. Everyday we ate french bread and chocolate, drank red wine and swam in the sea. When my body emerged from the sea, the sun would dry me so quickly that sand crystals were left shimmering on my body like diamonds. I spent glorious mornings alone, running along the shore in the rising sun. Evenings were romantic. Our life was simple. I left him there. I flew home to the USA via Turkey,and he found his way to Israel and Egypt. We later met in Egypt but that’s a whole different story.

gorgeous!!!!!

i studied greek art in the bronze age in college and came very close to pursuing a masters degree in art education with an emphasis on this period of history. i have heard it is touristy but i don’t care. does anyone have any idea how the weather would be in july as i am coming up on a milestone bday celebration and have considered this place. good thing i did not pursue that degree… i have already proven my others fairly useless….

My best friend is working abroad here since september. i cannot wait to visit her and have her show me how she’s been living the past 5 months. i’ll be looking forward to the food especially and the people! :)

I was 3 years old!
I remember it vaguely, it was the first time I ever swore to my parents!!!
I remember it being a really lovely place but I can’t tell you in much detail because i havn’t been in almost 13 years.
