Mykonos!

We had to walk to the plane!
Welcome to Mykonos!

I got to go to the island of Mykonos with the family for 5 days. We went by plane...only a 30 min ride. We stayed in a house owned by another family. The house was beautiful. It was perched on a mountain top and was your typical white house with blue and gray accents. It had an infinity pool and overlooked the sea and other mountain ranges. I had no computer access which was actually kind of nice...a lot of time to read, look at the stars, etc at night after the kids went to bed. We went with another family that has 3 girls, who were super adorable. Everyday consisted of playing at the beach for 8 hours straight...Not my ideal vacation but it was still a lot of fun! I must say I have become a sand castle master. I did get to go to town one night, which was really fun! I got to walk around and see the stores and all the night-life. If you don't know, Mykonos is infamous for being a party and gay island...But I would still totally recommend going there because it was beautiful. It was very difficult to get all 5 kids to want to learn English, probably because we were on vacation...So I am hoping I can come up with some more creative ideas to teach in Crete. By the end of Mykonos I was very exhausted, but it was overall a wonderful trip and I am so grateful to the family for taking me with them.


Here is a video! Sorry about the wind!
