2 Days: 1 Port Day and 1 Sea Day!
DAY 1: Heraklion, Crete (a Greek island)
Today we saw Knossos, the site of the ancient legend of the Minotaur. (The Minotaur was an ancient Greek monster). Almost everything had been re-built, but it was still cool. Pictures coming right up:
Can you find 3 things that were re-built or re-painted?) Answers at the end of the post.
Then, we went to the Archaelogical Museum, where all the cool stuff they took from Knossos is. We saw a really awesome lion-head statue that was around 2,700 years old:
Then, we ate lunch. It would take me forever to tell you all the stuff I ate, so I'll just summarize and say it was good.
We didn't have anything else to do so we just got back on the boat.
Day 2: At Sea
Today, the highlight was we got to perform our circus acts in the Stardust Theater, which seats about 2,000 people. It wasn't full (maybe 300 people) but it still rocked:
I'm throwing that stick into the air. My friend David, who's not in the shot, is going to catch it.
Line juggling! I threw my scarf up and I'm catching the person in the back of the line's. Violet is catching mine, and a girl is moving in to catch Violet's.
It was really fun!
