It has been a relaxing couple of days in Mykonos. Lazaro has started to pick up Greek and is convinced that by next year he will be fluent. I on the other hand have the problem with Greek as I do with Spanish—I seem to put letters where are no letters and sounds where they do not belong. Lazaro suggests that perhaps sign language is the language that I should master for his ear’s sake! Mykonos has been a truly magical place. Lazaro is already counting down ...

This is the art work in our room... Lazaro calls Mykonos his happy place. On this side of the island it is slow going and we take a sea bus to get to the old port. At the old port are the famous Mykonos windmills and little Venice (small winding streets with food and shops ready to service the tourist). We would wander the streets with the thousands of cruise ship patrons. Lazaro loves this hotel. It is family owned and operated. Lazaro has been able to intera...

We took the morning ferry from Santorini to Mykonos. The ferry took about 2 hours. It was a very smooth operation getting people and cars on and off with minimal delay. Top things about Santorini 1.

A few notes 1) the beach is covered in rocks 2) the water was kinda chilly— as hot as it was here, I thought it would be walk right in warm. So long story short the ...

Welcome to Santorini! We arrived to the island yesterday evening via plane from Athens. The flight was approximately 50 minutes compared to an 8 hour ferry. So far we have done a little exploring of our “neighborhood” on the island. The Aegean sea is one side and the mountains on the other. There is boardwalk filled with hotels, food, and shops all within walking distance. Lazaro did a run on the boardwalk while I walked scoping out adventures we can do whi...
