I'm in Crete!

With 6 weeks off from university, a friend from the program and I decided to venture to Crete. Naturally, our trip was inevitably to be centered around food; we are on an adventure to track down and research this crazy fermented goat milk mixed with Bulgar wheat, a Cretan specialty. It's called xenohodros, and is as difficult to find as it is to pronounce. More on that later. Here are some pics of our first meal. We stopped off in a little tiny town called Fodele. It is between Heraklion and Rethymno (where we are staying), and is the birthplace of El Greco.
