Walk to Doulianna

These are some pictures taken along the short walk from Gavalachori to Doulianna and back along some back roads and an old donkey trail.

Gavalachori

We need to fence our hard when we get home.  Here is an idea for a gate across the driveway.

Chaplet

Note the rock on top of my hat.  It was a bit breezy.

This road appeared to be paved with very large flat stones.

Another chaplet.

Doggie freedom!

The White Mountains.

The temptation is great.

Down the hill to the donkey trail.

More mysterious paving stones.  Thassa is wondering how the road was made too.

More pretty wild flowers.

Back in Galalachori.

Springtime With Julie

Julie, (Suzanna's sister) came for a visit around Easter.  This was her third visit since we have been here and her fifth trip to Crete.  Our friend Sean took us to visit many Churches on Good Friday, we cooked a tasty Easter dinner, and went to the Easter vigil service at Agia Triada Monastery.

We also hiked between two Monasteries and went on a short hike overlooking Balos Bay.

I am short on pictures from this trip.  My camera stopped working along the hike to the Metamorphosis.  Julie has more pictures.  Julie, if you send me some of you pictures, I will add them to the Blog!
