Hania, Crete, Greece
Happy Thanksgiving from Hania, Crete
A small fistfull of pix that didn't fit anywhere else.

Heading out the front door...
...and looking back up the creaky
stairs to
my room.

I just learned today that my guest house has a roof terrace of sorts.
Nothing fancier than a clothesline and junk storage, but it is
there.
While we are here, what is this leaf?
It is slightly bigger than my outsplayed hand. Not quite any maple that
I know. Not a sycamore.
Later: it seems to be an Oriental Plane Tree. Runner-up
candidate:
Field Maple.
Thanks everybody who helped with suggestions and research.
Signs of the Mind

This placard looks strikingly like the Facebook "signature" image of an
old and dear
friend and worthy former colleague.
(Careful here; she'll probably be reading this.

A bar with attitude.
A Fountain in the Modern Town

These Greek sugar donuts are about twice the size that we Americans
would consider normal. They are everywhere in Greece.
A couple of guys having an animated
conversation in a park outside the old city wall. Not angry mind you,
but the fellow on the right at least was using his hands
passionatly as well as his voice. If I hadn't been able to hear
him, I'd have thought he was speaking Italian.
