Mykonos

Mykonos Town, September 4, 2000

Chris and I were in Mykonos five years ago today. We really had very limited time: four hours, essentially, which included the time it took to get to and from the our cruise ship on the small tenders which ferried us to shore.

Anyway, the place was magical. Chris and I trekked up through town to a windmill crowning a ridge. What a treat to meander through the quiet, narrow streets to the windmill and its sweeping views of the little harbor and our cruise ship anchored some distance from shore. After watching the sun set and a quick trip for souvenir shopping, we headed back to the ship.

My favorite photo from our excursion was this one that Chris took. This adorable kid just kept coming closer and closer until Chris told him to stop. And he captured this exquisite image.
