Back in our tiny village and happy as a clam. I could get used to waking up here every day and taking a morning swim in the ocean before my freshly squeezed orange juice. What a bliss.

Yesterday we discovered the most beautiful little laguna with crystal clear blue water on our way back from the city. It was like bumping into a tiny piece of paradise on Earth. Even though I live in LA and I have the beach 30 minutes from my home it’s somehow not the same. The Mediterranean Sea has a je n’est sais quoi like no place else.

Unfortunately my new ‘getting in shape’ program has been vandalized by 2 things: primarily my old ankel injury is flaming up again so I cannot do my morning jogs anymore. Secondly, my little sister is constantly buying Oreo chocolate cookies with the white cream in the middle, which is a big weakness of mine…. And of course she ( being this stunning, 17 year old amazon-avatar look-a-like with a metabolism like a friggin’ race horse) is loving the fact that once I pop I can’t stop. Life is just unfair like that. She can eat whatever she wants and still look like ‘A Stick Figure’ (Thanks Carrie Bradshaw for that one)…

But I’ve decided to not give a damn and indulge (which is a pretty familiar territory for me).

Anyways, here are some pics from Gorgeous Greece….

My morning view from the balcony here in Greece. Dawn is my favorite time of day. A pity I don’t experience it every day….

The Palace of Minos, Knossos.

I love the sight of the cute, high pitched and overweight Greek, old ladies in prim dresses that will give you a guided tour of the ancient ruins for (only) 10 euros. The way they can get so excited about the tiniest engraved details in the rocks while they hold on to their huge white patent leather handbags and from time to time check their pretty painted red lips and coiffed hair dos in a little hand mirror they carry around.  It just blows my mind. Besides that, I’m in love with just sitting in between ruins and let my mind wander back to the future…. Just contemplating, riding my thoughts while letting the wind of change blow through me…

Greek men were the shit! Cute little skirts ..

One of my favorite animals: The Dolphin.

My sis & I just waking up and getting ready to check out form the hotel yesterday….
