There was so much to see while we were in Greece it's hard to put it all down. Yet one place seemed to stir me the most...Milos.
This was a new adventure for both Scott and I and it was well worth the plane, bus, metro, highspeed ferry, and taxi drive to get there. The atmosphere of the people in Milos seemed so laid back and friendly. We stayed in the upper village of Triovassalos at a bed and breakfast that was run by a very wonderful couple. The husband Rod was our kayaking instructor for two days of blissful travel and his wife Petrinela cared for all of our other needs. Due to morning sickness the first day was spend driving around the island exploring some famous sights like Sarakinkiko, a pristine beach with the whitest rock I've ever seen, the spot where the Venus de Milos was located, and Christian catacombs. When we finally were able to get out and kayak we saw some of the most massive rock formations I've ever seen, hot springs, and deep caves we explored. The water was so clear and blue and the wind was refreshing and freeing. At night we would go up to Plaka or another local town and dine on typical Greek taverna fair and relax as we watched the sun sinking low. As I reflect on that beautiful island I am reminded of the what Psalms says..."The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they display knowledge." We were truly blessed to be able to experience some of the most beautiful places in Greece and we were doubly blessed to have smooth travels and safety during the whole duration of our trip. Prayers that our family and friends lifted up for us were definitely heard and answered. I hope that Scott and I will be able to share more pictures and stories with everyone as we are able to meet up with them.
