Back to the Roots - Crete 4 of 4 Posts (click on picture for enlargement)

Local shopkeeper, Irene, who has become
a good friend of Kitty's.  In the back of
her shop stands a loom that belonged
to her grandmother on which she produces
many of the items she sells in her shop



Heading over the cliffs towards a plateau 
surrounded by higher mountains

The white speck in the center of the
picture is a goat scrambling up and
down the sheer face of this cliff! 
We were sure he was going to fall
to his death.
