Mykonos, Greece

This is the Greek Island that you see in movies with the windmills on the hill by the coastline … with the exquisite backdrop of Greece all around them. So of course that is the first place I wanted to go to on the island. My husband had slightly different plans … The windmills were a little far – we could walk - right? Well, what do you do when your husband has wanted to rent a little 4 wheeler quad runner for the past few days? You wear a skirt and hope he will take pity on you? … Yeah right, that didn’t work. We rented our little yellow four runner from the first place we found … I did say I was in a skirt … well it is a travel skirt, so I just went with the travel flow and away we went – zoom! I choose to wear a helmet, Dave declined. We zipped to the windmills – unbelievably beautiful white plaster cylinders with small red doors. The tops look like they are wearing toupees, kind of hair looking; possibly dried hay as the roofs. The wind sails were not open but were twisted around the spokes of the windmill. I loved them even before I saw them in real life – they are tall, quiet, graceful and stunning. After the windmills we completely cruised around the entire island – the entire island. My feet now have suntan lines from my Teva sandals. We cruised to the other side of the island and had another delicious Greek lunch – a restaurant right on the beach. Greek beer, stuffed grape leaves, taziki salad, tomatoes, crab salad, some weird fried cheese balls, cucumbers, a bell pepper salad, a slab of feta cheese and glorious bread with an olive tapenade spread. I did persuade Dave to do a little tourist shopping in the town – I bought my favorite thing “Kitchen towels” (hurrah) and Dave bought me a necklace for Mothers Day. This was an outstanding day. Very cool to do the island on a 4-runner - please come now and try it on Mykonos - I have the name of a guy who rents for very little euro~ and no, we did not go to Starbucks, I just thought it was a fun photo.
