After two days of travel through Iceland and Germany I landed in Chania on the island of Crete, which is where I am living this summer with Dimitri and his family. Dimitri and I were housemates when I lived in San Francisco; we haven't seen or spoken with each other in two years but have kept in touch solely on Facebook (woohoo, FB). D picked me up from airport and took me directly to Loutraki - which, so far, is one of my favorite beaches in Crete. Between two days of travel, flying to the other side of the world, seeing a very good friend for the first time in years and literally being driven from a plane to paradise, well, you can imagine why I've been spending a week or so processing. We spent the day at Loutraki swimming and sunbathing and I spent the day being surrounded by butterflies, drinking frappe and being told that I am going to have nothing short of the best summer ever, thanks to Dimitri :]. All of this threw any jet-lag I had right out the window. After Loutraki we drove home to what is now the most charming and enchanting place I have ever been - no exaggeration necessary. The background of this blog and all of the photos at the bottom are from around the house on different levels, porches, nooks and crannies. I explored a bit, met the family and headed into Chania for dinner with Dimitri and a bunch of his friends.
