Last Night In Greece Up On The Roof


We had a simply marvelous week in Chania - Greece. It is Saturday night and we are having our last night celebration. After dinner - drinks on the roof. We really stayed in the former governor's mansion. It is now divided into AirBnb apartments. We had the third floor and the roof. It was 4 bedrooms - 3 baths - on the the third floor. 

I thought it would be terrible living with 6 library professors. I do not know how they felt - but I really had a good time. The convention is over - some of them already left. Tomorrow we fly to Frankfurt. We leave for the airport at 10 AM - then we have a 3 hour flight to Germany. We go west one time zone. We also fly north from 35 degrees latitude to 50 degrees latitude. Keep in mind that Tamaqua PA is at 41 degrees of latitude. So it will be a bit colder in Germany than here. Here I wore nothing but shorts and short sleeve shirts. I do have 2 pair of long pants - and two long shirts - and a golf jacket. 

We spent a lot less money than we would if we rented a hotel. We also saved having a full kitchen on food. We ate out a lot because the food was good and not expensive. But I could also enjoy a normal breakfast of tea - cereal - juice. We also had a washing machine - but hung the clothes out - up on the roof.

Water was rough - so no boats. 


It looks like rain - but we had no rain all week.

Dust from the Sahari gives us orange skies. 



Bye Bye Chania. 

Bye Bye Greece.
