My Greek Office
Life in the Greek islands is definitely growing on me. I haven’t been here since I fell madly in love with a Greek/French boy in the Island of Paros years back. At that time I was Island hopping with my girls just learning about Greek culture and discovering that this Mediterranean Paradise is way more and I daresay, different that what my dusty High School teacher taught me. Ancient Greece has moved elegantly and crudely beyond the days of ‘Eros’ and is now an abundance of R&R, culture, cuisine and amazing nature.
Today I’m traveling under completely different circumstances than when I was with my girls. I’m here with my family staying completely out of trouble and getting way more sleep and fatty acids from avocado salads and fresh fish than ever before. And I get more exercise in weird ways I’ve never really explored before. Yesterday was a big day of kayaking out to the nearest island about 3 miles from the coast. We tied the kayaks to the cliffs and frolicked in the water all day. No need to say I have a slight sunburn plus some really sore triceps today. And did I mention that we got into some questionable activity the other night. ‘Activity’ being the one and only ‘Greek Dance’ as seen in ‘Zorba’ … haha… damn, that was fun! ‘My Big Fat Greek Wedding’ … Anyone..?
Anyways, today my word celibacy got tedious and I spoke my mind: ”Let’s go shopping!” And so my baby sis (who’s not so much a baby anymore – really) and I went into the local village to check out the Greek fashion. Yes, I know it was 36 degrees celcius and my American Apparel hot-pant suit was dripping, but when a girl needs to shop she needs to shop. And I got 6 new bikinis. Haha … excess? Moi…? Naaaah… They were amazing bikinis and I’ll make sure to post some pics tomorrow of them.
‘Till then please indulge in this song. It’s been on my mind since our questionable Greek night of dancing…. Zorba eat your heart out!
