Chania

We got another view of Crete yesterday when we went into downtown Chania. We live in a small town near the beach and it is relatively quite here so it was fun to get to see a large city. The drive is about 15 minutes from where we live and it was a beautiful drive along the sea. The streets are just as narrow as the small town that we live in but there is a lot more traffic!
We walked out to the Chania Lighthouse in the Harbor. It is very old and you can see the different layers from different years and rulers. There were a lot of people fishing off the old steps. Inside the Harbor there are a lot of little fishing boats, most are so small we wonder how they get out to sea.
We then walked around and looked at the shops. They have everything you could want. There is even a place call leather way with nothing but leather shops. We also went to the market were they have fresh fish of all kinds out and fresh veggies and fruits.
You will all love this, we found a 1 Euro store!! Yes you read it right a 1 Euro store. It was great, we got a lot of Christmas decorations. Shawn will soon be surrounded by Christmas! He coffee cup was even changed out to Santa and a Christmas tree!
We had a great day, filled with a lot of walking but it was worth it. All the pictures in the slide show below are from the day.
