Hey Laurie! Your list of speedo names cracked us up. I wish I’d known about Kelly’s collection when I was visiting Elafonisi! We’re back in Hania now, and don’t think we’ll be down there again. If I spot any pink (or other exotic) sands, I’ll definitely grab a handful!

Kelly has a collection of exotic sand. Maybe you can find a ziploc baggie or mini-jelly jar and save some of the pink sand for a rainy day back in the states. It’s not a gel/liquid- it should get through customs? The water looks beautiful!

Like Laurie said, I’m living vicariously through you two on this trip. As for the speedo psuedonyms…*gags.* GAWD Ben, don’t wear them!!! They just may be the end of you being able to father ankle-biters!!!! *RUN AWAY!!!*

And that village you visited…sounded like Dawn of the Dead.

Ben can now be called “Mr. Livingston” (I presume) for his discovery of the rare kri-kri. (We just know it’s a jackalope in Greece.) ;0)

We certainly are enjoying visiting Crete vicariously through you two! I am glad the European men do wear some kind of swim covering. Here are a few American nicknames for Speedos besides—Eww Gross!
Nutcrackers, budgie smugglers, banana hammock, dong-thong-alongs and slug huggers!
Best Wishes from the over 50 gang in Richmond!

Have you tried Retsina yet? Brad says it tastes like PineSol.

Nate,

That’s great that YOU want to see Ben in a speedo, but I’m pretty sure that the rest of us don’t.

As part of the “not looking like an American tourist,” why wasn’t ben in his own speedo?
