October 26th & 27th

October 26 & 27

A group of us got up at 6:30 a.m. to visit the beach one last time. The water was chilly, but it was warmer than the outside temperature. It felt so freeing floating around in the water staring at the stars and running across the sandbar to the other island. It was such a great way to end our time in Crete. After driving back to the hotel we had breakfast and packed up to leave at 12. We drove to an ancient acropolis where we hiked and drew for two hours. We continued driving and had dinner near our ferry. At 9 p.m. we departed on a 9 hour ferry ride which would land us in Napflio on October 27^th at 5 a.m. (daylight savings happened). We are now in the hotel, which is so beautiful. I am rooming with Elissa and we took a nap in the comfiest bed followed by roaming around the town to have lunch. We walked down to the harbor, which you can see, from our hotel room. Many places here remind me of home. We are now back in bed until we join the group at 5 for church and dinner.
