[Cruising-along]

Greetings again from the Eurodam! I’ve had so much trouble trying to post on CC. Right now seems to be working so will try once again!

 

We continue to be spoiled by our amazing crew, and we’re loving this cruise. No complaints, zilch!

 

A few photos from yesterday in Rhodes. Today we took the shuttle into Chania to the market. Shopped and got more flowers for the cabin. We got back to the ship just in time, we had black skies and rain (sun is out again though!)

Gorgeous kitten, what is that type of bird?

Thanks Erewhon!  It’s a blue Jay,  Toronto’s baseball team is named after this bird.   We discovered they love peanuts and kept visiting to get some!  
I’m curious ,  what is kumara?  Hope your power comes back soon!   
 

@Cruising-along gorgeous photos of Rhodes!  We love Chania!

Thanks, I know about orange, blue and white but not red.  Do they taste the same?

They’re from Okinawa, Japan.   They’re very good, 

  A deep purplish blue.   They use them a lot in Hawaii.  I’ve had potato salad made with them, yum!
