wearing a UNICEF hoodie helps

Leaving the island I am a little relieved and a large sad because a part of our trip is sitting on the white bubbles of the wake. goodbye. I met Claire and Lulu for the first time and enjoy. However, we still left Lulu on the island.

Getting to Mykanos was a trying experience, no sleep, that got even stranger and filled with travelers aroma. After 36 hours I was pretty loopy but got some wannabe energy from seeing old friends on a different continent then I saw them last. So we made it 42 hours of no sleep. The island itself is similar to a replica of something Disney might have imagined for a children's film; Pirates of the Aegean. Very candy coated and shiny. Blue and very white. I would say a large part of its existence is for tourists and the ones that were there were mid twenty somethings. We grabbed our sleeping bags and went dancing and drinking, or drinking and dancing. Dancing with a pack on your pack looked at dumb as it sounds so we left them with the guys working the gyro booth around the corner. I honestly do not remember most parts of that night. I was tired and did not drink very much and I wonder if there was anything worth remembering. I remember being in self-preservation mode. We got a few free housing offers and we took one. Maybe not the best one but good at the time. Hitchhiking back in the morning was a happy ending.

Our island is called Mykanos. Island of lizards, blue water, Greek pride, sunshine, and the U.S. Navy.
