We recently returned from a New Year’s road trip to Heraklion – that’s the largest city on the island, about 2 hours by bus to the east of Chania. We stayed with Christos, our Koumbaros, and spent New Year’s Eve (and the first seven hours of 2008) touring the city center and sampling the local nightlife. Had a good time, though perhaps a bit too much drinking. I spent the first day of the new year wishing the words “another bottle of tequila” had been stricken from the language – English or Greek – the night before. But it was nice to do something special, get out of town, and always great to visit with our very good friend, Christos, and his family.
