From the Island of Mykonos, Greece

Nader and I are sitting on a balcony over looking a beautiful beach while the sun sets. We just bid the sun farewell as it races to greet you in the states. I should add that Nader is sipping on Ouzo. Very fitting. Mykonos Island was not as lame as I thought it would be. It's not just a party town. See for yourself how beautiful this place is...

A view of Mykonos from our room. Note the Ouzo bottle that Nader left in the window sill. He has been connecting to his Greek roots.

Windmills.

Another view of the windmills.

Maya running wild in the streets.

Maya and Sahara on famous Paradise Beach. What you don't see or hear are the dancing girls on tables or the loud pulsing music. I'm not sure where Nader is, but I'm sure he is around here somewhere....

The honeycomb of streets. Check out the bougainvillea.

This is a typical shot, stairs to a white house with a blue door.

Here's what we are eating every day. Scott Briney eat your heart out !!!

Our daily routine starts with a trip to the bakery. There is nothing better than a European bakery !!

Greek Orthodox churches are as common as Starbucks in the states. There is one of every corner.

Here's a photo inside a church.

A local fisherman selling his fresh catch of the day. Some of the fish were still flapping around.

We took a day trip to Delos Island, which is an ancient archaeological site.

Sahara on the boat to Delos.

It may not look like much now, but in 3 B.C. this place was a spectacular city. This is where Apollo was said to be born.

Here's some ancient rich persons house. Note the mosaic on the floor.

Here's the temple of Apollo.

Here are the lions of Delos. We are pretty sure these are famous???

Ruins.

Here's a picture of Nader ruining the picture of the ruins.

Check out the stacked stone. This used to be someones house thousands of years ago.
