Crete... I guess that's not very original but whatever

Hey everyone,

Hope all is going well back home! We're having a great time here in Crete. Our camera finally bit the dust so we bought a fuji for a "special price". Our hotel here is all inclusive so we've been taking in way too much food and booze. Last night was a Greek holiday of sorts when they celebrate the virgin Mary. The hotel hosted a great party including a live traditional band, greek food and of course we had some ouzo. Crete is also renouned for its Raki, 70% moonshine that they sell on the street in old water bottles... pretty harsh stuff. Tomorrow we're renting a car and heading to the city of Hania for some site seeing and shopping, and then to Previa beach for some palm trees and waves! To answer Amanda's questions, yeah it's super hot here (Crete is considered semi-tropical), but there's usually a nice breeze; and no I don't think the wedding photos are up yet but we'll let you know.

Take care everyone, love and miss you all,
Tamara n Alex
