Dear Mother:
We have been on Karpathos for 9 days and in three more we sail for Crete. This island is the most beautiful Greek island yet. We met a Greek girl in town who invited us to a real Greek party. We went there and met a charming Greek couple my age. They asked us to visit them. They are very kind people and very thoughtful. The wife is so clean and a fabulous cook and would put any Canadian housewife to shame. We stayed with them for two days.
We leave for Crete tomorrow at 4 a.m. and the trip takes 6 hours. We will be beat when we arrive. You can go crazy with fruit in this country So much variety and so cheap. There are melons of every colour and shape. The Honeydews are so sweet and must be because they ripen in the sun.
I am still resisting smoking and it takes will power. I will have to take up smoking when I return to help dieting. There is too much good food here and fattening!
I am brown as I can’t escape the sun. The heat is dry and I have NO back trouble here at all. So glad to have a few months without pain. The houses here are $15 a month to rent. The are lovely, cool and clean. Food is cheap and swimming the best.
Wel this is all for now. We are going for a walk.
Love M
