Paros, Greece

Hello.....

Another short post today, unless we get a few pics up.

We had an awesome night last night involving dinner only feet from the sea, cocktails during happy hour which were completely ridiculous, and a night-cap coffee/snack coupled with a walk through an interesting little shopping area. The cocktails were so delicious - They were huge and made with fresh juices. Jessie was "done" after 2.

Today we slept in, shockingly.....and after a nice lunch in a courtyard covered by flowers overhead, we rented an ATV on this island and hit the road. Our new ATV is much faster and more fun - plus we're that much more comfortable on it, so its great. Jessie spent a bit more time at the helm, so that's a good sign!

Its VERY windy today on the island but after some exploring and checking on the windy side of the island we did some offroading and after a number of backroads found our way to a very quiet beach with only a few other people. The beach had an awesome view of a seaside town and beautiful rolling hilss behind us. All of the beaches we've seen yet included very sharp declines from shallow to deep water whereas this beach allowed us to walk out at least 100m before the water passed our wastes. After a very enjoyable swim and some paddle ball, we took a more direct route back to our hotel where we plan on readign a bit by the pool before heading in to town for dinner and "potentially" a movie. We say "potentially" as our first two attempts to find the movie theatre were unsuccessful. Its "open air" so we think it'll have a drive-in feel and we're quite excited about it. Jess is keeping her fingers crossed for SATC (or for the men out there - Sex in the City). Steve is hoping otherwise.

Anyways - we really appreciate your interest in how things are going.

See you all soon!
