I can’t even believe it’s Thursday. I slept till 8am and called Terry. Sleepy. Meet me for breakfast. Coffee, unbelievable yogurt and honey, eggs in little cups, fruit. Cool and a light breeze on the terrace. Bliss.
We went into the town of Mykonos on the bus and went wherever our feet willed us to go. Down curving streets and pathways that swerved to the left and to the right. Glittering shoes, handbags and jewelry that seduced us at every turn. Shop till you drop! I bought thyme honey and fig preserves. Who needs jewelry when you can have the taste of a country in a spoonful of rich exotic complex honey? It’s all about terroir and Greece has it in spades. An ancient country that is dry, barren, rich and resourceful. An oxymoron on a grand scale.
We found a beautiful necklace for Gen and it looked so lovely on her. Silver, and the Greek key and opal. Stunning on her cinnamon skin. Happy masters. A lasting momento of her tremendous effort.
We were so late for our lunch meeting date at Nikos Taverna with John due to some major craziness at the jewelry store. We finally got there and ordered grilled octopus, calamari, stuffed eggplant, grilled shrimp, rocket salad with parmesan, beer and had a feast. More picture taking. We decided to buy matching rings to help us remember this lovely vacation.
We went back to the hotel for happy hour. Ouzo on the rocks and me. Not good. I went to bed while everyone went to dinner. I woke up around 11pm to find myself locked in my room and Gen had the only key. Oh, well! dry cracker and a piece of cheese, glass of water. My penance I guess.
