Although Mykonos was not as happening as it usually is during the summer, we had a great time relaxing and exploring the town.

The night on Mykonos were usually spent eating a nice meal and relaxing over a bottle of wine. One night we decided to go get some drinks before our dinner and decided to break away from our typical choice of red and get white wine. BIG MISTAKE!




We decided that we wanted to see the rest of the island so on Thur. we rented a car! It was a lot of fun to drive around and see the different beaches on the island. We also found a starbucks that we went to twice!















We spent the next couple of days laying out on the beach. The weather was perfect to just layout and read. We usually packed ourself snacks and drinks and spent the whole day in the sun!








The first night that we got there we found out the U.S. Navy was docked in Mykonos. We ended up going to bars with them that night. These are a couple of our new navy friends Andy and Jesse.


































After a day of touring, we decided that our last meal in Athens was going to be a lobster dinner! So we went to this restaurant that specialized in cooking seafood. The meal was great and there were a bunch of different dipping sauces to dip the lobster in. The next morning we woke early to go get on the ferry from Athens to Mykonos. The ferry was four hours long, but we got to layout outside and get some sun. When we got to Mykonos we decided to walk around the village and look at all the cute white and blue buildings.




















The next night we went to this restaurant that makes it's own wine. The room that you eat in is surronded by the wine barrels! The next day we woke up and went to the acropolis! It was so much better then I could have ever thought! The weather that day was prefect for walking around and looking at all the ruins!



For spring break we decided to got to Greece! We left friday morning and arrived in Greece around seven that night! I was excited to see the hostel that we were staying in because I found one for only 10euros that looked nice. Well as soon as we got there we knew that this was not the greatest area to be staying in. After walking up a spirl staircase to the hostel we realized that we had made a mistake. When the guy took us to our room there was NO HEAT! The picture above is Clara trying to get warm in the room because it was colder in there then outside! After about 30 min. in our room we decided that we were not going to be able to stay in the hostel! So we snuck out of our hostel and found this other hotel to stay in. The other picture is our room that we found after the hostel. It had MTV...we were really excited to watch american TV haha
