Free Day in Rhodes
Today was a free day so we decided to go back to the old city because there were some things that people wanted to buy and we all wanted to go the Grand Master's Palace. This medieval castle was built by a military order during the crusades as a place to house traveling crusaders and then it became a place for others and even housed the first embassies for the city of Rhodes. It reminded me of Hampton Court except that there were marble and mosaic floors. It was really pretty. After that we wandered around the old city and ate some gelato and gyros. Seriously the food is amazing. I bought a present for the family that I think really encompasses the history of Rhodes (I hope you guys like it). After we were done in the old city we went back to the beach. Today was pretty relaxed so I really don't have much to talk about.
