Delos and Mykonos

I loved the winding back alleys of Mykonos with the whitewash walls and brightly painted doors and shutters.

This was such a fun day. It started out on the little island of Delos. This island was thought to be the center of the universe to the Greeks. Because it was believed to be where the Greek God Apollo was born. Fast forward 2500 years and the whole island is one big open air archaeological museum. The island is only accessible during daylight hours it is still considered sacred to the local people.

The rest of the day was spent on Mykonos. We rented an ATV and cruised around the island visiting the various beaches. Including Paradise and Super Paradise beaches. Both famous for their party atmosphere and lack of clothing. It was a beautiful island with tiny little churches everywhere.

Seriously, stop having so much fun! Kidding. I am loving the picture of Konan. How fun would that be? My fav picture is the white house with the red door and flowers. I love it!
