Megan checking in. After a rough night for some, a very small group of us raced to catch the boat to the uninhabited island of Delos. Delos is Europe's oldest archaeological site...and its stunning. We will upload photos as soon as we can because I am sure I won't be able to do it justice. Nothing but greek ruins all over the island and the highlight being a huge trek to the peak, where tourists pay homage to the greek gods by stacking rocks on top of eachother. It was very cool, with original frescoes and mosaics all over the place.
The boatride was super choppy and a group of french tourists kept making jokes that this was it, and that we were all going over the edge. The french have funny senses of humor. We have had a great time in Mykonos mostly hanging at the beach and going out at night. The greeks dont go out until around midnight and usually roll home around 6 a.m. Personally, that's a bit too much for me. Everyone is headed back to Athens today, some have already left and the rest of us head out tonight at six. Then its back to
