Our Last Day With Roula Skoula

Our last day with Roula was really sad, we had all gotten really close over the past three weeks, but we still had a great day.

She took us to the town of Rethymno, about an hour away from Heraklion. We went to the Fortetza Fortress and saw Venetian and Ottoman monuments.

We saw an old Mosque and two old minerets in town.

After the fortress Roula took us past a little shop that made beautiful sculptures out of bread. It was pretty amazing. Roula said it was usually for weddings.

We went to the beach for a little bit before going to watch the world cup. And one major culture difference that I immediately noticed was all the old saggy breasts bare for all the world to sea at the beach. The beach itself though was gorgeous with warm and clear water and sandy, not rocky like the beaches before.

Later we went to watch the world cup game, Greece vs. South Korea, at a little taverna that had outdoor seating with big screen tvs. It was fun, but Greece lost, 1-0. This is where Roula left us. She went around and hugged all of us. She was the best tour guide we could have asked for and she definitely made this trip amazing! Thanks Roula, Roula-la, Skoula, Skoula-la!!
