Day at Sea and then to Mykonos, Greece

I like that our first full day on the ship was a Day At Sea. This is so relaxing. You can sit on your balcony sipping a glass of wine and just let the ship take you wherever, listening to the waves crashing against the boat is therapeutic. Of course, it's your choice to do nothing or pick from a myriad of things to do. Since we're traveling to the Holy Cities of the Mediterranean I chose to attend a lecture on Alexander the Great. The lecturer is a Historian and does know his stuff. He was very entertaining as well. I learned a lot. There also was a drawing class offered by a Master Artist. Loved it all.
We arrived at Mykonos, Greece. It's a beautiful, picturesque little island.  All the buildings, businesses, homes are white and they all have blue shutters plus they're clean. This is a definite must revisit place. There are some nice hotels overlooking the port. It's very quiet, although the lady I bought my jewelry from said that it gets very windy there. We had a Greek beer, called Alpha, overlooking the port  at an outdoor restaurant. So lovely. I took out my sketch book and Eddie was able to check his email while enjoying a delicious beer. Oh yeah!!
