Greek Island

The fairy boat

Today Carolyn, Jess, Alison, and I went to the Greek Island of Aegina. We attempted to go to a different island, but they couldn't guarantee we would make it back to Athens on the ferry today so we opted for Aegina.

It turned out to be a blessing and reminded me of the fact that sometimes with a good attitude you can find an even better plan B.

We got off the ferry in our shorts and sun dresses hunting for a beach and some sun. It was still early and a lite cold, but we muscled through it.

Eventually it cleared and we were able to get some rays in the beautiful area.

After that we did lunch on the water. Then we split up. Paige and I did ice cream and the others rented quads to ride around the island. We opted out because we are both from the country and can do that any day at home.

Eventually we met back up for the ferry and came home sun kissed, tired, and completely satisfied with our day! Thanks Greece for the warm welcoming and for tomorrow-Rome.

Our Protector, Mr. New Booty on the way to the ferry

Side note: On our walk to the metro station we had a dog start following us, which isn't that strange in Athens there are dogs everywhere. It was however very sweet of Mr. New Booty (the dog) to guide us all the way and when creepy men stared or stepped toward us he got defensive and growled and protected us. When we got back ten hours later Mr. New Booty was sleeping outside our hotel. :)))

This is Mr. New Booty at our hotel that night. SAME DOG!!!
