Mykonos

This is actually Day 3 of the trip. My pictures from Day 2 were being weird. So we borded the cruise ship!! Ummm the first day on the ship we were all so excited and were running around top deck bottom deck all over. I will do another post just on the ship though. This post is about the first island we went to, Mykonos. It was SO PRETTY!  This island had all white houses, but it's not the famous island that you might be thinking of, (Santorini). This island was just calm and cute and cute and cute. Our tour guide basically just took us up to a point and then gave us free time.

 

One cool thing, is our tour guide Gloria had told us earlier that if we see the pelicans on this island, they would bring us luck the rest of the trip. Becaues all the pelicans left along time ago or something and these two stayed. It's not normal for Pelicans to be in Greece or the whole Mediterranean I think.

 

They had little ice cream shops everywhere! And a little crepe shop, we did get crepes. Anyway enjoy the pics!

Parthenon

(I've litterally been trying FOREVER to do posts on Greece, and my computer uploads most of the pictures, and then the last two it never uploads, and it won't even let me put up the ones that DID upload. So it will have to be short posts like this for now on!)

 

 



Our first day in Athens we went on a bus to the Parthenon. A temple dedicated to the goddess Athena. I'm not your biggest history person, and I thought it was a lot cooler than I thought I would. Becuase you see so many pictures of this and I was looking right at it! It's amazing because I would have NEVER thought I would see that in my whole life. I remember when I saw it that's when I really started thinking I should travel more. It's crazy how many amazing places and things there are that most people never see. It really made me want to travel!

Seeing the Parthenon on the way up! Was quite a walk of stairs to get there.

Little streets! Everything so close together.
