This is the life, everyone!

We are all officially on Mykonos, we got here yesterday afternoon. Despite the very rainy and cold weather that we had in Athens our last three days there and yesterday, the weather is actually quite nice. There is the occasional fear that the blustering winds will blow me off the island but the sun is out and it’s actually very warm if you manage to find a good spot with some wind blocks.

Our first day here was supposed to be class on the island of Delos nearby and then we would have five free days to ourselves. Apparently though there are actual regulations as to when a boat can’t take off. I guess the winds are so strong today that the boat today Delos did not leave and we’re trying again tomorrow. So the rest of my day so far has included a lot of adventuring and sitting by the pool in our hotel.

Adventuring was definitely the high point of my morning. I decided to go walking around Mykonos with Ez G, Eddie, and James and we found our way to the coastline of Mykonos. The wind was pretty vicious but that didn’t stop us from climbing on the rocks, shouting “I’m king of the world”, and walking out to the water. After we got done with our coastline exploring we found Keegan, Zak, and Lulu and then we went shop exploring. We found a honey store. We got to sample said honey. Yummmm. I bought a honey called Vanilla Fir Tree Honey.  Somewhere along the way we lost Keegan, Zak, and Lulu again. On our way back to the hotel we found gyros for 2.50 euro, they were great specifically because these were the type of gyros that come with fries in them.  We took the 20 minute climb up to the hotel (which ultimately counteracted the gyros we had just eaten) and took a nap until Kristine brought our Bronze Age course grades to the hotel. I got an A-. WOOHOOO

Thankfully the Taylor Swift invasion in my head has calmed down a little. My life no longer feels like a Nicholas Sparks novel. Still pretty distracted though and there’s still a lot of Taylor Swift going on in my head.

…..What to do, what to do?
