Here I am in Crete. It is a pretty cool island. It is a bit more difficult getting around, but far from impossible. Most people speak at least a little english and I have gotten very good at asking (in Greek) if they speak english. I walked around about 15 miles today. Into town, around town, to all (and I do mean all) of their museums, archelogical sights, some cafe's and town squares. I really didn't even get lost today. Wow, I must be making some progress. I met a couple English people (yes, people from England silly) we hung out until about 1am or so and talked about politics, troubled youth, the difference between the FBI, CIA, and Secret Service (don't ask, if I told you I'd have to kill you:), body guards, ccw laws etc. It was kinda of funny, most of the museums that I went to today were under construction and had only one exhibit open.

Happy Thanksgiving! My favorite family Holiday! First, I want to Thank You for sharing some of this journey together. No matter if we just correspond here on-line, we've only first met or we've been walking this path together for some time... Thanks! . I hope I've added something to your Life. . The support of you and our entire community both locally at the Krav academy and here on-line, all of you folks have me grateful beyond words. . In times where I feel the darkness of uncertainty creep in; you're support has helped anchor and inspire me to Keep Going.

They cheer you on in good times and holding you up in bad. Th
