Mykonos

There is nothing in the Bible about Paul ever being on Mykonos or Santorini, so there aren't any spiritually meaningful things to do here other than notice all the beautiful church buildings.  But since Paul sailed and traveled in this part of the world, we have a better understanding of what the climate and geography was for his travels.

Mykonos is known as the party island but we were there in the morning and things were pretty quiet.  We found a great recommendation on Trip Advisor for a lunch place so we explored the area for a while and then walked uphill and uphill and uphill some more.  It turns out that the restaurant wasn't anywhere near the dock.  It was all by itself, a place where locals eat.  It also turns out that they didn't open for lunch until 12:30.  Since we got there at 11:30, we weren't willing to hike back down so we found a little cafe and got drinks for an hour.

We met a young couple from Texas outside the restaurant and ended up sitting with them at lunch.  It's fun to talk to other travelers and hear their stories.  And, the food was fantastic!  Worth the long hike up (and back down).
