Gerd,

A very busy week for me at the farmers' market. I finally have had time to look at your photographs from Crete. It looks like there is still wild terrain in Crete and many plants to see. Thank you so much for sharing them!

Like the folks in Crete, we are finally getting some "winter" rain and snow.

Wonderful photos, thank you, Gerd.  Did you walk the Samaria Gorge or is it closed at this time?

Thank you for kind comments alltogether! Just after my third journey to Crete I believe there is much more to admire
there.

Susan: No, we did not walk into the gorge (it was open) because of the terrible weather conditions at the time we reached the entrance.
Even the mules left the gorge   ;) - see attached pic!
