My Big Fat Greek Wedding

My Big Fat Greek Wedding, yes this is a movie but we witnessed this as well. We were walking to the bus after a wonderful day in Mykonos Town when we heard a ruckus of noise. Our first thought was "oh no, not a riot or strike". But the noise was coming towards us and resembled sounds of New York City. A long stream of cars all with their horns sounding came driving down the hill. Leading the charge was a car covered in decorations with a voluptuous bride who was overflowing her dress and her groom. All the guests of the wedding were loud and excited and it appeared that most of the locals were involve in the festivities. Let's just say I am so thankful we don't have the tradition of making this much noise for a wedding in the US.

Mykonos is amazing, Jorie and I are in 7th heaven. The Island is dry with rolling hills that look over the rich blue ocean. The hillside is covered in sugar cube white buildings with the deep blue accent color. The little town has streets that wined like a labyrinth and it is easy to get turned around on the narrow streets with the surrounding uniform white buildings. Also, there are stray cats everywhere.

We had a blast shopping and wandering for hours. We had to control our urges to buy buy buy. We each bought 2 things for our sailing adventure, including an epic sun hat. We had two rounds of gyros, as well as drinks over looking the gorgeous views. Much to our dismay we did get coaxed into going up to a roof top bar that overlooks the beautiful sunset. Everything in the place far exceeded our budget and we tried to devise a plan to escape but we had no such luck. So we split a milk shake and watched the sunset.

Today we are relaxing on the beach! It is absolutely gorgeous. The water is clear blue and pristine. And there seem to be Greek boobs (both women and men) everywhere our gazes take us. Regardless, we are loving laying in the sun in this beautiful place. We will meet up with our sail boat tonight.
