Links I Love Week 28: Year 2026
Hello from Greece! Our first stop was Crete, which exceeded my expectations. I will share more details about our stay and where we ate in an upcoming post once I am home. The initial trip was to meet family, but we decided to tack on a few more days to Greece and explore Crete. I have been enjoying a Freddo Cappuccino every morning, and now I’m on the hunt for baklava.
