Just make your dream come true…Priya...Annie,<BR/>Thanks! Just make your dream come true…<BR/><BR/>Priyank,<BR/>Thanks. You know, I always doubt from the «tourist» impressions you get with «regular people» on a fifteen day trip basis… I have many Greek friends but not from the tourist visits, and I tell you that I highly enjoy their company, cheerfulness and friendship!<BR/><BR/>Julie,<BR/>I’ll check photoblog. Anyhow, one of these days I’ll reach the limit of uploads in Blogger, so I’ll have to deal with the issue. I’ll cross that bridge when it comes…<BR/><BR/>Alice,<BR/>C’est vrai que mes amies viennent chez quand ils ont besoin d’informations touristiques… ;)<BR/><BR/>Susane,<BR/>Time to start the bookings…<BR/><BR/>JoAnn,<BR/>So, you’re also a Greece lover… Samos is on my list; Ios had everything booked but, unfortunately, had to cancel…<BR/>Thanks. Hope you had a great Easter!<BR/><BR/>Peter,<BR/>Thanks for the trust!!! With very limited vacation time, options are somehow restricted; so, Greek Isles are an obvious choice!<BR/>Paris asap… ;)<BR/><BR/>Lyliane,<BR/>C’est vrai que Cabeçudos (grandes têtes) et Gigantones (géants) sont très familiers dans les fêtes populaires ici au Portugal; et c’est vrai aussi que je me rappelle très bien de masquer la cane au sucre en Madère quand j’étais petit…<BR/>La mer du Nord, ça me rappelle toujours Brel, un de mes chanteurs favoris; à 20 ans je connaissais presque toutes les chansons (disons les 50 plus connues) par cœur!!<BR/>Quand aux amandes, elles sont couvertes de sucre et les meilleurs, les plus délicates, on les appelle «françaises»… ;))<BR/><BR/>Jo,<BR/>Still a bit early to get there, but you may start booking… ;))<BR/><BR/>Cuckoo,<BR/>Boring, it isn’t… Similar to Italy? That’s only because you’ve never been (but you should) to Portugal… ;))<BR/><BR/>Kuanyin,<BR/>Healing sessions, no sightseeing? It doesn’t sound a great programme… ;)<BR/><BR/>Julia,<BR/>You don’t know how I regret that Concorde is no longer flying, and that I’m no longer sleeping 150 nights abroad/a year… ;))<BR/>Ok, next will be Munich, and then Bilbao!<BR/><BR/>Ming,<BR/>Thanks for the comment. I’m not so sure about Hania being more like Spain than Crete due to the Turkish influence. Most Greek islands were in Ottoman hands since more or less 1500 (Crete since 1670), as well as the mainland. In Spain, only Granada resisted under the Nasrid influence until 1492… Iraklion and Rethymno show great Venetian influence. No wonder, they built all those forts and castles to resist conquerors coming from the sea…<BR/>Well, anyhow history and geography may be quite debatable, I would assume… ;)<BR/><BR/>Shionge,<BR/>Island hopper, city hopper… but somehow retired now… ;))<BR/><BR/>Indrani,<BR/>Thanks. You’re always welcome!<BR/><BR/>Eleonora,<BR/>Great to see you back here after a so long time away. Where did you travel to? India?<BR/>Ma io sono oggi un viaggiante scarsamente attivo…<BR/><BR/>Alex,<BR/>Thanks for coming here, since you’re not yet there… ;))<BR/><BR/>99,<BR/>Phaestos Disc is a great mystery, as no one has yet deciphered what’s written there. Amazing that you wear one reproduction around your neck…<BR/>Obrigado (é masculino; feminino: obrigada) pela visita!<BR/><BR/>Ash,<BR/>Thanks. How’s the MBA running?<BR/><BR/>Marie,<BR/>Thanks for your visits and comments, even with so much to do… Love to see you around!<BR/><BR/>Azer Mantessa,<BR/>Thanks. Oh yeah! Birth of Zeus in the Diktian Cave; Zeus and Europa; Minotaur, the Labyrinth, Theseus and Ariadne; Daedalus and Icarus, the Drossoulites of Frangokastello… all around Crete!<BR/><BR/>Olivier,<BR/>Merci. Je me réjouis de te voir récupéré!<BR/><BR/>Lv2,<BR/>It surely is a great place to visit!<BR/><BR/>Nihal,<BR/>Thanks! Great time also for you!<BR/><BR/>Neva,<BR/>Thanks. All those Venetian lighthouses – in Heraklion, Rethymno and Chania – are still working as lighthouses today!<BR/><BR/>Richard,<BR/>Thanks! Great to see you back here. Hope you had a great Easter time!<BR/><BR/>Matriensis,<BR/>All that you mention contribute to make it a great destination: food, music… blue sky, blue sea, sunny days, warm water…<BR/><BR/>Tinsie,<BR/>You were probably on the nicest of the main cities… Rethymno is also interesting; Heraklion probably too official to be interesting (except that Knossos is quite close and the Museum is there…)! And don’t forget Agios Nicolaos!!<BR/>Casa Delfino was fully booked and they didn’t take reservations for less than a week or three nights, depending of the season, so we didn’t stay there. But we dropped by to have a look, and next time we settle on the West side of Crete, we’ll book it there. At least for the three nights minimum… ;))<BR/><BR/>Lilli & Nevada,<BR/>Thanks. My pleasure to take you there…<BR/><BR/>Steve,<BR/>Thanks! I’m sorry that my <A HREF="http://blogtrotta80s.blogspot.com/search/label/New%20Orleans" REL="nofollow">New Orleans post</A> has so lousy pictures, but fortunately we may see it decently in your blog!<BR/><BR/>Pijush,<BR/>Glad to see you back here! Thanks for the comment!<BR/><BR/>Piika,<BR/>Kalyan,<BR/>Thanks!<BR/><BR/>Deslilas,<BR/>C’est vrai que les pays deviennent certainement plus beaux quand les dictatures s’en vont… mais l’histoire politique de Grèce depuis le Schisme National (La Grande Division -«Ethnikos Dikhasmos») est très troublante...<BR/><BR/>Sigma,<BR/>Thanks!

The mystery of it caught my attention and blew my imagination. I keep it around my neck with other similar pieces of culture that I find fascinating. That way, when I look at myself in the mirror they remind me my own past travels and adventures and trigger in me thoughts about culture similarities.<BR/><BR/><I>Obrigado</I> for sharing all the info and pictures.99https://www.blogger.com/profile/07143493617807864880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14878297.post-43900276548448940752008-03-20T18:21:00.000+00:002008-03-20T18:21:00.000+00:00lovely!
