Alright so after barely recovering from the night before, we got up early once again to catch a quick ferry to the island of Delos. Delos is known for its mythological, historical and archeological sites in Greece. So we walk out our hotel door and we're like blown basically back to Athens it was so windy. This also made it kind of cold so I grabbed my sweatshirt and hit the road. It was sooo cold that day but we all sucked it up aside from the goose-bumps and continued on toward the bus to take us to the ferry.
For class, we walked around the island viewing ancient structures of lions and people. Alice (our instructor) taught us about the Greeks and what it was like to live back in the time of ancient Greece. Alex and I saw this huge mountain and saw people climbing up so we convinced Alice and the rest of the class to climb to the top! Oh, how they all loved us for that. The climb really wasn't that bad. It really only took like 10 or 15 minutes to get to the top. Once we were up there, it was like you were surrounded by never ending water and land. Facebook has the views. Being up there kind of motivated me to sky-dive or to just grab a hang glider and fly off the top but then I was like it might hurt when I hit the bottom so I changed my mind. Alex, Cassie, Aubrey and I just sat up there in the blowing wind for the longest time to soaking everything in. Then we went down and met the rest of the group in front of the ferry. On the ferry ride back, Alex, Cassie and I went to sit on the top deck of the ferry with Aubrey and Alice. hahaha, while we were sitting we all got nailed by a huge wave which completely caught me off guard since I was sitting with my back toward the bow of the boat. It was really funny.
When we got back, we all were talking about going to dinner to see the sunset that night. Those are my sunset pics on facebook. We all met up at like 7:50pm and caught the bus to Mykonos and made it just in time for the sun set. Then we went to dinner together at this cute fish/everything place and I ordered risotto with shrimp which was amazingly good. It was filling, but dang good. We also got bread with our meal and that was good too! In Greek bread is called pain. It definitely is a pain when you eat too much of it that's for sure. And then we all went back and we all fell asleep watching the BBC which was basically the only channel we got and it was a perfect channel to fall asleep to. That ends day 2.
