Day Nine - Mykonos

---

Again updating a little late. The computer line tends to be long at night, and we just don't get up early enough in the morning. So the other day we docked in Mykonos, Greece pretty early in the morning. We took the shuttle bus into town. The town overall is pretty small, but there are some cool things there. Caroline, Matt and I walked most of the way up the mountain for some cool views. The island is mostly bright white houses with either blue or red accents. There are tons, and I mean tons, of little Greek Orthodox churches. I am pretty sure that every family must have their own church.

There are also some really old windmills there, which are not in operation anymore, but are pretty neat looking. We found an really cool cemetary. The graves are all kind of above ground and they are covered with personalized items and flowers, mostly in pots. Each grave also had a little glass box that had personal items stored, such as pictures, candles, etc.

There were lots of cute little stores and cafes. We mostly just walked around exploring. Finally when we were leaving the sun started shining and then the water looked the blue it is famous for. We were only there for a half of day so we didn't have too much time. That night dinner on the boat was fantastic, especially dessert. We had so many yummy desserts!
