More Mykonos (4/17)

Not only does Mykonos have huge pink pelicans and some really blue water, it also has some of the most interesting people I've ever met!
The locals there were very friendly, sometimes overly, but they all had a story to tell or a restaurant to show us. On our first night, Mom and I went to a random restaurant on the harbor and just wanted to try a Greek pizza (go figure, 4 months in Italy and I still can't get enough). As our meal went on a table of older men kept looking over and finally sent us a beer. I tried to send it back and then told them not to bother, I'm too young and Mom is married ha ha ha. Well, they turned out to be a really friendly bunch who was just trying to be hospitable. By the time the night was over we'd been taught the Greek dances and knew the Greek word for "cheers" (yamas!).
This kind of thing happend every night after that. We made some American friends in our hotel and brought them along with us to Niko's tavern where we sat and learned a lot about Mykonos from the locals.
I met some local kids my age and they showed us all the fun places to go and hung out with us for two days! It was like having a tour guide through Mykonos and they did it because they're that friendly. I also think part of the reason is because Greeks have perfected the art of tourism. They know how to treat tourists and how to get them to return, based on the experiences that these visitors have here.
All in all, a wonderful spring break!
