Today was a big day, a long day, and joyful day. We woke early to catch the morning bus to Heraklion, Crete. The trip was 3 hours of winding roads, seashore views, and tourists galore. Our reason for this trip was not for pleasure, but to finalize Ilias’s permanent appointment to the University in Chania. For the past 5 years or more, my husband has been doing research, lecturing to students, and working for the University as a Geophysicist under contract. His pay was sporadic, working hours varied month to month, and there was always a feeling of uncertainty. Not anymore! Today Ilias took the oath at the University in Heraklion to become a permanent Professor. I am very proud of his hard work and dedication. His appointment to the University in Chania is well deserved.
Congratulations to a wonderful man!
It was my first visit to Herkalion and I found it to be much like Athens. There was too much traffic, dirty, chaotic, and had a very big city feel to it. I am glad it is far from where I live. I enjoy my sweet, magical hometown of Chania.
(Don’t get me wrong, there are some becoming parts to Heraklion as you can see from the pictures below. )
