Mykonos

One of my favorite stops was Mykonos. It felt very similar to Santorini, which I had been looking forward to the most, but it seemed less busy. We'd find whole stretches of streets where we were the only ones around! I just loved all the white buildings with pops of color, all the winding roads, cobblestone paths, and flowers.

In the morning, we had a family group tour of Mykonos town. It was just lovely.

I loved seeing the famous Windmills! Apparently, they're B&Bs now! 

There are hundreds of little churches on the islands. I don't know if this is true or not, but our guide told us that the reason why is that when the islands were being settled, the government didn't want to build the infrastructure required to have electricity in each new little village, but they were required by law to send electricity to churches. So, the citizens would build a church, and voila! Their area would have electricity!

In the afternoon, everyone did their own thing. Jason and I made our way back through town (I could have wandered all day) and took a bus to a beach. Funny story: JD and Lianna wanted to meet us after they got lunch, so we gave them directions and pinned our location for them. They eventually found us...but not until they had walked through a nude beach first!! Whoopse! That wasn't the route we took!

What an amazing trip! Jason and I are so grateful to have experienced this beautiful part of the world with my family.
