Even older stuff ...

We're staying in Heraklion, Crete. It's our main base for our time here. We'll explore other parts of the island with a guide 2 separate days this week. Since the high today was going to be 98 degrees, our plans for the day changed to be a little more relaxed. Easy on the outside sightseeing. We went to the archeological museum. It's really well done with great labels and snipets to read in English. If I thought I saw old stuff before, this stuff tops that. It dates back to the MinoanWorlds  which dates back to 7000-1100 BC. Didn't even know that time period/people existed. We were 2 1/2 hours. Tons to see and read and lots was new and different than what we've seen in the other museums. Then we had a great lunch at Central Park. I had a Wiener schnitzel burger. Maybe not local cuisine but definitely different. We then walked towards the port. Stopped for a drink and then back to the hotel to de-glisten and relax a bit. Need to talk with the front desk about going to a beach tomorrow :)

A game to entertain. 1 women slows a charging bull by holding the horns. Another is at the back to catch the man who was somersaulting over a bull.

The bump is for the head. That's new....
