Immense and spectacular!<p class="mobile-photo"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KCjseBEqhsU/TEWACxi4rmI/AAAAAAAAZmI/IWmbnNEMFgw/s1600/IMG00427-779867.jpg"><img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_KCjseBEqhsU/TEWACxi4rmI/AAAAAAAAZmI/IWmbnNEMFgw/s320/IMG00427-779867.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5495939705423310434" /></a></p>Very hot under the blinding sun. Takes a half hour by ferry and is the<br>isle adjacent to Mykonos.<p>Spectacular, it is an entire city. Many parts sufficiently intact that<br>you can close your eyes and imagine the ancient Greeks going to the<br>theatre, watch sport or even shop and live their lives.<p>At the very end off the beaten path I found a piece of marble etched with<br>Roman carvings... fascinating as it shows how the site evolved.<p>The site is completely overrun by weeds and you can walk anywhere, even on<br>top of the sides of buildings.<p>My favorite part was seeing the side wall of the stadium and the shops next<br>to the wall, you could see how people sold food and souvenirs back then.<br>I also loved walking to the top of the theatre and looking down, you can<br>totally imagine it filled with people watching plays...<p>Now on boat ride back to lovely Mykonos town where I will meet with Andrew<br>and have lunch!Retrohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14336447433800852143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5712563.post-47719537070644873302010-07-19T12:45:00.001-05:002010-07-19T12:45:37.101-05:00Yes, that is a pelican walking through our restaurant...<p class="mobile-photo"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_KCjseBEqhsU/TESPQVNCAtI/AAAAAAAAZmA/UUn1lQsWkUM/s1600/IMG00426-737102.jpg"><img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_KCjseBEqhsU/TESPQVNCAtI/AAAAAAAAZmA/UUn1lQsWkUM/s320/IMG00426-737102.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5495674956031328978" /></a></p>Mykonos is amazing!Retrohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14336447433800852143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5712563.post-65305335189293365522010-07-19T08:26:00.001-05:002010-07-19T08:26:16.262-05:00Having a beer in Mykonos...
