Took the boat trip from Crete to Rhodes. The ship sucked! It was very dirty and I'm chaffed so bad that it smells of death. I can hardly walk. Phil (history prof) gave me some ointment and I bought some baby powder at a shop. I slept for eight hours at the Hotel Anastasia.

I'm feeling a little better. The ointment works. I was worried I was going to get sent home. I hobbled to the old city in Rhodes after being lost for an hour. I asked directions at Dora's Pizza. Dora was a wonderful woman. I love Rhodes. The people are so nice. I want to stay here forever. The food at Dora's Pizza was really good. I told Dora about Ypsilanti. She wanted to visit the U.S. I went to the Knights Hospilitar in the Medieval part of the city. It had an archaeological museum with a first century Aphrodite. I also visited a Byzantine temple and a decorative art museum.
