Mid-winter Splurge


Did you know that Carnival originated in Greece? Or that's what I've read, anyway...

Apparently the town of Rethymno has a pretty impressive celebration, so I've decided to break out of my winter doldrums and spend two days there over the weekend of the 13th of February. I'll stay Saturday and Sunday night so I can catch the parade in full on Sunday, then head back on the bus Monday morning. Hope to get lots of good pictures, in the meantime I'm very excited about my accommodations at Civitas Hotel (pictured here). Having lived with only shower facilities for the last several years, I'm looking forward to a leisurely soak in the whirlpool tub at some point...
