A Better Day In Mykonos

So far this has been a great day, one of the best of the vacation so far, made even better by the fact that i'm finally chatting with my wife though gmail as i type this. It's just one of these days where thing tend to work out. Even though it was super hot, i was exhausted enough to fall asleep and get almost a full nights sleep, which helped me feel good this morning. I walked to the beach and hung out there for about 90 minutes, taking full advantage of its possibilities, had breakfast, figured out a plan of action for the day with Cameron, spent more time at the beach, taking advantage again, then took the bus into town.

This town is so cool looking. For years i remember seeing these awesome pictures and painting of hundreds of small white buildings with blue doors and windows lining the sides of mountains. Well, i'm seeing that in person now. The town, or village, has narrow winding passage ways that were actually originally designed to confuse invading pirates. Seriously. Now they confuse tourists. Its unlike anything i've ever seen or experiences. I also chatted with my Greek friend who told me about some things to see and do on this and the next island we're about to see. Very exciting. As i already basically knew, this island is known around the world at one of the greatest places to party. We're going to the Paradice Club tonight, which is a very short walk from our box (where we sleep, it's just a wooden box, basically. it's no room, i'll tell you that). The guide book says between 3000 and 5000 people dance in the open air venue to world famous DJs, and that it's easily one of the top clubs in Mykonos. It doesn't even open until 11PM, and stays open until past dawn. How about that?

I'm very grateful that today was the super hot day, and today is just very hot with a strong wind. The really funny part is that yesterday the ocean was very warm, and today it wasn't. Heck, at one point i was almost cold. It was a truely wonderful feeling, after being overheated for so long with little to no hope of relief, to finally be a bit chilly again, even if only for an hour. Well, my time is almost up. Next entry, Santorini!
