RARE WEATHER (for us, not the Cretens)

Aye, aye maytees (Mrs. Berger, I'm writing in pirate-speak, so pardon my grammar):

Hope you're having  a great morning!  Aye, but here maytees the sand from a Sahara Desert sand storm (in Africa) is what's blockin all the sun (that's why the sky is so dark in this photo)!  Aye, but that's not stoppin in from bein warm. Aye, the storm is predicted to last 'em three more days and nights with them strong winds blowin in the tide from the South.  I'll still be a lookin for shells and more treasure on the beach though (just like Tony in THE WINDCATCHER)!

Bye, Bye Maytees!

Truly your captain from Crete,

Nicoletta

PS -- I forgot to mention that we flew to Crete two days ago -- Crete is a Greek island that is farthest from the main land.  It is about the same distance from Greece as it is to Africa!
