entrance to the gate at Akrotiri
I should have written down the pilots name but didn't ... We got to take a look at the U-2 plane before it took off ...
another shot of the U-2 ... this plane is used for reconnaissance missions and was sooo cool! yes, we were allowed to look inside but no touching as the plane was ready for take off.
after checking out the plane we got to watch the pilot as they were checking his suit and getting him ready to fly
and we even got to escort him to the plane and watch the U-2 take off
Wow ... what a cool day! There he goes!
great view of the Island of Crete
just a really cool island,
Was great to stop at some of the local eateries in Crete ... we wanted to try some of the local food.
Rick, Donna and myself with another fantastic view of Crete, Greece.
we ate at an eatery by the ocean and met a pelican walking thru around in back of the restaurant, very cool!
I'm not exactly sure why but, the Navy supplied us with our own plane to fly to Crete and Larissa ... I guess commercial flights weren't available.
a photo from the Olympic stadium and somewhere I also have photos from the Museum in Olympia but can't find them.
All of our shows in Greece were at night so we had fun during the day!
should I have left this photo out?
perhaps sometimes we had too much fun!
