Mykonos...my favorite

Our first stop on the cruise was the island of

Mykonos. We arrived late in the afternoon,

and the light was just great. We did a walking

tour of the town, and there was a charming

photo op on every corner. I would love to get

to come back here someday and stay awhile.

It is best known for the windmills that were

used to grind grain. They are no longer operating,

but they are a big tourist draw.

Cruisin...

We are on the cruise ship now, making stops at

a few of the islands. We stopped at Mykonos yesterday

evening, and it has been one of my favorite places so far.

White-washed buildings with blue shutters and roofs..

charming. We did a walking tour of the town, and took

lots of photos. I spent some time sketching before we

had to get back on the boat.

This is the island that has the old windmills on it that

were used for grinding grain. I already did a couple of

paintings of them and the boats in the harbor with all

the pretty little white buildings. There were also lots

of beautiful people on this island...it is kind of a hang-out

for the young and rich. Onassis is said to have stayed

here alot on his yacht, and many celebrities come here.

I think I could stay here and paint for about a month!!

Go to the website www.greeka.com and you

can see some photos of Mykonos

or just google it, and there are some good ones.
