Elafonissi, Sfinari, & Chania, Crete

E∧AØONHƵI, ∑∅Ƞváƿi & XANIA

Road to Elafonissi – narrow, winding route through the mountains, with a one lane brick tunnel, barely high enough for cars

Elafonissi Beach

Amazing clear, warm water

Bob Dole’s 100th cache

More narrow dirt roads, steep drop-offs, no railing – sure glad Rachael arranged for me to drive on the inside (lane?) on our return route

Why are there so many chapels on this route?

Ruins of the old port of Chania

Venetian lighthouse

it is not always about beer

Solo in Paris – Day 1

Bill headed home today, and I will be meeting Rachael in Athens Saturday, so I have two days to get in trouble in Paris. Found a couple of geocaches while exploring the Marie Curie University, Roman amphitheater ruins at Les Arènes de Lutèce, and the maze at Jardin des Plantes. Stopped at Bières Cultes, a specialty shop and met brewmaster Dorothée. She kindly provided a free sample of her newest creation, a tropical lager, and a map of where to find artisanale bière in Paris.

Finally, a good picture of a typical public water fountain
