I think perhaps the key right now is to remain off of it as much as I can, keep it elevated, and put an antiseptic cream on it around the nail. But, I will definitely keep in mind the Naval base at Souda Bay - I hadn't even thought of it. If worse came to worse, surely they wouldn't turn a fellow American away in dire need of medical treatment?<br /><br />Your Friend and Fellow "Silent Warrior",<br /><br />BobBob (Bobby)https://www.blogger.com/profile/00432946935091656830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4048938343275826850.post-75524553207393319372009-10-16T06:51:09.721+03:002009-10-16T06:51:09.721+03:00If you get really concerned, there is still US Nav...If you get really concerned, there is still US Navy at the bay near chania, or my friend Manos can get you to the right dr...James Gill 88-90https://www.blogger.com/profile/01994279234083482835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4048938343275826850.post-65659617780452531222009-10-14T09:34:09.713+03:002009-10-14T09:34:09.713+03:00Dear Jim,

None of the kids there used any language like that on me - matter of fact, everyone I met in Anogia seemed to go out of their way to show nothing but kindness to me. I had hope to not only call your friend, Manos, but to schedule a trip to the Balos Lagoon as well; however, after breaking my toe, that sort of put things in a different perspective. For the first two weeks after my accident, my toe seemed to be healing nicely, but now it is starting to become increasingly sore. My biggest concern is of infection. If I can just hold on until October 31st., I will seek medical attention upon my return to the USA.<br /><br />Your Friend and Fellow "Silent Warrior",<br /><br />BobBob (Bobby)https://www.blogger.com/profile/00432946935091656830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4048938343275826850.post-36245935057670513732009-10-14T02:51:46.505+03:002009-10-14T02:51:46.505+03:00Hi, My friend Manos has family in Anogia, so we h...Hi, My friend Manos has family in Anogia, so we have visited there many times. You can speak greek with an anogian accent by saying "Ida Kanis, Bre?" instead of ti kanis, morae.<br />I remember the children there running around looking at me and saying "fuck you!" like they were trying to uphold their Anogian history!<br /><br />It is too bad you didn't go back on these visits just a few years ago as this new high price stuff only came with the Euro. It was still cheap all the way into the early 2000s.<br /><br />I hope you have called my anogian friend manos for a visit!!!!!James Gill 88-90https://www.blogger.com/profile/01994279234083482835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4048938343275826850.post-17128823309091720492009-10-07T20:50:30.716+03:002009-10-07T20:50:30.716+03:00bOBBY,i JUST SHOWED MY WIFE THE PHOTOS YOU SENT AN...bOBBY,i JUST SHOWED MY WIFE THE PHOTOS YOU SENT AND THE ONE OF THE TAVERNA WAS A SURPRISE TO HER AS THE MAN IN THE PHOTOS FATHER IS NOT ONLY THE OWNER BUT A FRIEND OF HER BROTHER IN LAW.<br />she ALSO SAID HER FATHER AND A COUPLE MEN FROM ANOGIA WERE ALMOST CAUGHT WHEN HER FATHER WAS HIDING THE OTHERS IN THE WAR.Thanks much for them Bob,Maybe we can take a trip back there next year to visit them..machttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03958533634548050670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4048938343275826850.post-41556464453873689912009-10-07T19:50:17.565+03:002009-10-07T19:50:17.565+03:00Dear Mac,

And, I didn't ask any of the locals, because I didn't know if they would understand the word, "orphanage". But, I still enjoyed my visit there. The people were warm, but the mountain air was a little cool! Ha.
