A beautiful day today. A 50 minute high speed ferry took the 6 of us to the small island of Symi. We enjoyed walking around the beautiful harbor and stopping into shops and admiring the nicely colored homes in the hills. A shop owner recommended we walk up to the village and visit the museum. After hiking up some hills and what seemed like about a 2,000 steps (slight exaggeration), we found the museum. Closed. Thankfully the views were nice up there, met a nice villager who seemed sympathetic and offered us water on the warm sunny day. We had a ton of laughs and burst out into song on the way back down the steps. Then we enjoyed frappe (like an iced coffee drink) sitting by the harbor. Then we lounged together at the beach until it was time to catch the ferry back to Rhodes. Another wonderful day here.
Hi Everyone, I am so enjoying this blog. As you mentioned Simi, I went online and did some research about it myself. Wow!
ReplyDeleteSure looks like there are some rich people living there. Wonder if Aristotle Onasis had a little weekend place there. We truly feel like we are along with you on this wonderful trip. Thanks to all for contibuting.
I'm jealous of that seaside table. - Leo.
ReplyDeleteLisa, do you remember how many Steps to Enlightenment we climbed? haha
ReplyDeleteHi Lisa and all,
ReplyDeleteLisa, it was great speaking with you today from your new destination Kos. That Skype connection was amazing, you sounded like you were in the next room. After checking out Kos on the internet it seems you have landed in another paradise. The hotels look lovely and makes one want to jump on a plane and join you all.
Just as an update on "Dancing with the Stars". Tonight Monday was great. They had a "swing" group competition that was amazing with all the "lifts". So far it looks like Nicole is ahead. Evan Lycacheck went down tonight. Believe it or not Pamela Anderson is still on and improving. Neicy Nash is also still on and doing very well. She is very, very popular. Will let you know who got booted.l
Keep having fun and relish in every minute there.
