Secret garden

We climbed with Carl at the Secret Garden, and he showed me some of the classics. Even with running beta, I basically fell off of everything, which was a bit annoying.

Afterwards, we hung out with Aris, Katie, Carl and a friend of theirs from Athens in Palionisos. I ate some goat
,
Drank some beers, went for a quick swim in the icy cold water ("The coldest on the island!", Aris declared with his trademark grin"), and had some of the special goat that they were cooking


Palionisos has changed quite a bit since our first visit there in 2005. At the time, there was only a dirt road connecting Skalia to the town, and basically nothing there except the harbor. Now there are multiple tavernae and tons of people. I think I like it more in the "old" days. Still wonderful, though!
