Last night we went to a dinner theater in a small village high in the hills above Heraklion. There were 16 people to a long table and there were hundreds of us tourist there --mostly Russian . The entertainment was by a dance school--some were very good, some were learning. After two plus hours we left, we had had plenty of music, food, and drink. Today we explore and then fly to Rhodes late in the day. Probably won't blog again today so will post some random observations. (1) I am fascinated by the variety of women's shoes at the archaeological sites and very steep climbs: tennis shoes, sports sandals with enclosed toes (me), very high heels, 4 inch wedgies, ballet slippers, flat flip flops. (2) To come on this trip you were suppose to be able to walk 2 miles on uneven ground over the course of a day. Most agree that they should have encouraged us to run up and down steep hills in 90 degree heat and then we would really be ready. (3) During tours we wear 'whispers' --a small sound system so we can hear our guide better. Alex, our guide, is a rather heavy fellow so we also get to hear his huffing and puffing as we climb hills--in addition to our own!
