Kalos irthate apo Mykonos! (Welcome from Mykonos)




Well, sorry it has taken so long to post again. We have been very busy and internet access is expensive on the islands. We arrived in Athens fine and really liked John's Place (where we stayed there). We even booked it for our days back in Athens at the end of the trip. We also changed our night back in Boston to the YWCA, which is much more centrally located.

We've been eating great meals so far (both in Boston and especially in Greece).
We are now on the island of Mykonos and we are staying at a campsite that is right on a beach called Paranga. We have a bungalo, which is pretty basic, but it gets the job done and isn't a tent! It is great to go to sleep by the sound of the crashing waves and wake up to sea the see out your door. Randy got a Greek cell phone number, but is having an issue sending e-mails and sms-es from it. Hopefully he'll get that resolved before the trip is over.

We spent part of the day today on the island of Delos, noted in Greek mythology as the supposed birthplace of the twin gods, Apollo and Artemis. Excellent ruins, including the stone lions.

Cathy is leaving for Naxos tomorrow and Randy is following after one more day on the beach.
We're uploading more pictures as we type. Maybe they will be up by the time you read this...
Hope everyone is doing great back home!
