Believe it or not, we went to yet another museum yesterday here in Crete!! No drawing done there since we were using the audio guide so I stuck the tickets in my sketchbook instead. We saw more El Greco art there. I hadn’t realized that he had been born in Heraklion Crete when we saw his work in Toledo Spain.
On the way to the museum we walked along the waterfront and met a fisherman who was selling his “catch”; shells and sea sponges. Of course I had to buy one!
Since being a tourist is such a hard job we had to have a libation and a bit to eat afterwards. I created my page there while we rested. The best French fries ever and halloumi fried cheese on a pita like bread and tomato with some green. Delicious! The restaurant gave us some dessert on the house and I tried my first local “raki” drink.
A great day all told until we left in the pouring rain like I have never seen before. We had our rain coats on but my shoes and purse were soaked! Luckily my sketchbook didn’t get wet!!
