Breakfast. Going to do a load of laundry. Dimitra drops off Richard and me in town.
COVERED MARKET. I return here to buy a few more things. I get olive oil shampoo and conditioner and a free bar of olive oil soap for 10.60€. I buy a postcard and a stamp to mail it. At the bakery I buy a strawberry filled donut 1.50€.
ARCHAEOLOGICAL MUSEUM. Inside the church of San Francesco. Displays artifacts from western Crete including pottery, sculpture, mosaics, and coins. Admission 2€ per person. Unfortunately the museum store was closed.

After we get
gelato-strawberry for me and chocolate with nuts for Richard. Just sitting, relaxing until George picks us up. We go to the paint store but don't know what George got there. Back at the house we have
lunch of Greek salad, cold beets, potatoes, beans, warm carrot salad and lemonade. Just right. Just chilling at the house but then Despina wants me to take a walk with her. We end up at her friend's house who is having the christening. We get invited but unfortunately we will be leaving Chania the day of the celebration. We have ouzo with honey and cinnamon pastry cake. Delicious. Later we all decide to go to
town-to walk around. Maybe shop. There's a guy demonstrating flying toys for sale. OMG! One hits George in the eye! That's not good. We find an open pharmacy to get some medicine for George's eye. It will help make his eye all better. We drive up to where the Venizelos graves are but our destination is a cafe nearby. We can see the lights of Chania. Richard and I have tea. Costa and Despina got wine and chips. George and Dimitra got a banana split to share I think. Costa paid. Feeling very tired from our late night!
