April 13-15: Another Whole Bunch of Stuff

So, to be completely honest, I forgot to post my blog yesterday and the day before. Sorry about that.

After I made my last post, I went with my parents took my brother and I to an old Venetian fortress near my house. It was very...uh...Venetian. I look forward to going to Venice on Sunday, where I can see Venetian fortresses actually in Venice.

Yesterday, we went on a "road trip" of sorts, where we went on an hour-long car ride to a cool cave which was used to hide out in during the Turk invasion of Crete. Unfortunately, the Turks found everyone and killed them. But it was still a darn awesome cave, with lighting and stalactites to make it even more awesome.

After the cave, we went to an olive oil factory, which wasn't the most exciting thing in the world, but it was still cool to see.

Last night, my dad, brother and I got lost looking for ice cream in the city. That was eventful, I guess.

Early today, we went to Knossos, guided by our friend's friend Stella, who was also an archaeologist. Seeing the palace was cool, but unfortunately I have been mildly sick, so I couldn't focus and became light-headed at some points. But it was really cool, and you can check my Facebook page for pictures.

Tomorrow we will go to the Archaeological Museum, near Knossos. On Sunday we will leave Crete, fly back to Athens and then fly to Venice. Fun!
