Greece with Eric: Marvelous Mykonos

The minute we stepped off the ferry and on to Mykonos soil, we knew we had come home. Not to a home we'd known before, but to a new home welcoming us with its remarkable sights, tantalizing us with its tastes, and engulfing our senses with its brilliant blue beauty.

The sights of Mykonos arrested our vision with their dreamlike allure...

The intoxicating view from our balcony:



A peek through the crystal sea:



A candid shot of our favorite residents:



A still of the sun slipping off to sleep after a long day's work of warming the Grecian skies:



A glimpse of a pristine façade:



The tastes of Mykonos treated our taste buds to a bounty of flavor and freshness...

The anise-scented ouzo:



The expertly rolled dolmades:



The crisp and deliciously simple Greek salad:



The unique bouquet of Greek wine:



The homey creaminess of spanakopita:



The color of Mykonos livened our spirits with refreshing exuberance...

The azure punches of windows and doors:



The turquoise and cobalt of sanctuary and sky:



The unexpected periwinkle porch:



The sapphire and aquamarine of a secret spot:



Mykonos tickled our senses and embraced our inner islander souls. We love you Mykonos!



Eric - Thanks so much for making the trek out to Greece to see us. We had a blast and can't wait to see you up in Camp Nelson for Christmas!
