We're baaaaack!!...Kato Zakros part 1

We got back on Friday and it has been a hectic ever since.......of course this week has been dedicated to preparing Christian for school. We had an orientation day for 1st graders on Monday we got to meet C's teacher which was good...we have been running around buying last minute supplies, books, school uniform, immunization shots, general check up etc. Today we also had one of Christians friends over for the day so I got a chance to get in front of the computer. I get back to work next week so I wanted to avoid the computer this week but I was itching to get my photos of our trip posted and to check up on what every one has been up to.
Sooooo.........Kato Zakros Crete part 1
After a very smooth plane trip...I was unpleasantly surprised when I saw the size of the airplane that was flying us to Crete, I suggested the boys fly and that I would swim there!! every one laughed but I was not joking.....
Obviously we made it and here are the pics to prove it...












Here we are leaving the amazing coastline
of Siteia and heading off to
kato Zakros 60kms away........












nearly there...................












finally Kato Zakros............the view from our
balcony....












Our rooms...................












Our first swim in the crystal clear waters
and sandy beaches of Kserokambos












Sun setting on Kato Zakros beach....time for dinner












dinner on the beach at a friends taverna.......
with a view of the shimmering sea.................














Beautiful sand lilies that grow only by the sea!

















Back soon with some more ...............
tomorrow is a big day,
Christians first day of school as a first grader..
wish him luck every one............................................
Later.....................................................................................
