Well Rested.

What a beautiful Sunday. A little chilly, but beautiful nonetheless.

I can't remember the last Saturday night when an entire group of friends unanimously decided to stay in and rest. I don't think that it has ever happened on a Greek Island. What can I say, we're breaking barriers....? Instead of hitting the town we hosted a wonderful pot luck dinner. A sort of get-to-know-you event, where we could all just be comfortable.

I have to say, my addition to the dinner (a bottle of half decent red wine) was a hit. I barely made it through the door. That may be becasue after a day like yesterday, everyone could use a little vino.

We did a safari tour of the island. It was beautiful. We drove up to Nasous, and climbed the acropolis there. It was a moderately tough climb, but well worth it. Once at the top, we got a magnificent view of the sea. Perched on a rock, we all sat in relative silence overlooking the Aegean. I couldn't dream a better picture.

While the view from the Acropolis was beautiful, I have to say I really enjoyed Lefkes. Lefkes is a quiet old town, what you'd expect from an undisturbed Greek island. At its heart sits a grand old Cathedral that is as intimidating as it is beautiful. The whole trip was wonderful, and gave us some appreciated insight.

So after a day filled with walking, climbing, and having our minds pretty much blown. A night in filled with home cooking was in order, despite the fact is was our first Saturday on the island.

I've finally figured out Skype by the way. Not that it was difficult, but I was just lazy abut downloading it. It's a magnificent invention, and I'm glad to have a way to communicate with everyone back home for next to nothing, cost wise.

Today everyone is continuing to relax. There is homework and procrastination to be contended with. The tone of the day.

As soon as my camera charger comes in the mail, you can expect a fair amount of pictures. Until then you'll have to duke it out with my words.

Love.
