The wind was really blowing this morning, and now, at 8:23 p.m., the wind has subsided but you can\u2019t see the ocean from our house. Our pool was filled with leaves, and it was at least partially refilled with a hose, so it\u2019s probably really, really cold.<\/p>\n
Apart from that excitement, our day was rather dull. We visited Lidl and the bakery for food but didn\u2019t check out the restaurant at which we planned on eating until we were back in Rethymno and looking for it. It was on a very touristy street (although Rethymno itself is quite touristy) and the menu had pictures on it. As I learned in Rome three years ago, when menus have pictures all over them the food usually isn\u2019t very good and it is very overpriced.<\/p>\n
This would be the exception.<\/p>\n
The food was typically Greek\u2014meaning it was delicious (especially the vine leaf rolls stuffed with rice and the fried peppers) and inexpensive. The atmosphere was rather unimpressive, but what could we expect?<\/p>\n
Ciao!<\/p>\n
