Mykonos

After a day at sea we arrived in Mykonos.  It was necessary to ferry over from the new harbor to the old harbor which cut into an already short day in port.  In the morning, we explored the town.  John and I took a long walk and saw a lot of the town while the others spent the time shopping.  The narrow streets, white washed buildings and stone pavement were classic Greek island.  We saw lots of small churches and some windmills by the rocky shoreline.  Next, it was a quick trip back to the ship and off on an afternoon excursion which was pretty lame.  We did get a tour of some of the island which was interesting; but our stops were a couple of beaches and a small Greek Orthodox monastery with an icon that got a lot of explanation from a guide we could hardly hear or understand.  The afternoon would have been much more enjoyable having been spent in town. Our 48th wedding anniversary day was topped off with a concert featuring three men singing a variety of tenor music.
