Or "Rhodos", as the locals call it. Here are some pictures of this awesome island. Every day brings a medieval castle adventure for Eric and I. We are staying in the "Old Town", or the area of Rhodos that is in the original area of fortification. I can't believe that people still live here. Every walk we go on is like something out of the movie "Labyrinth", only without David Bowie's crotch stealing the show.
There are a tonne of tourists, however, and that is the one aspect that takes some getting used to after Turkey. The strategy that has been working for us, involves exploring the touristy areas at less-busy times (i.e. early evening), and stick to ghetto areas during peak daytime hours (these areas tend to have the REALLy interesting bits anyway).
Anyway, I'm finished my glass of wine (Cheap Greek wine tends to be quite murkey and grapejuice-like, yet so tasty!), and internet is expensive, so that is all.
Tomorrow= ATHENS, then Dan and Mom will be here! We are SO stoked to share this experience with them. I can't wait.
Thanks for the comments everyone, it's so nice to hear from friends and family when we are so far away!

I wonder about the merits of leaving comments when given that getting them costs you money and time, it seems almost to be an un-favour. On the other hand, I suppose you do like knowing that we're following along and enjoying the pictures so I think I'll keep leaving some comments.
I love the pictures. It looks really funny when you are listening to Booker T and the MG's and watching your slide show....crazzie man! Say a hello to Amber's mom and Dan for me. I wish I was visiting a more interesting place than Safeway...
Its Jen, and I am so jealous in so many ways. I may have to smuggle myself on a plane someday to visit such places! Be safe guys!
Thanks for the post card! I can't get over the erection houses, they are too weird.
The post card arrived here too. It is quite cute.
