As many of you may or may not know, last week Jamie and I had some visitors from the lovely state of Indiana, Kat and Parks. Yes I know, we still do not know what a Hoosier is, but we will not hold that against them. For their first two days, we enjoyed some adult beverages, hit the major tourists spots in Athens, indulged in Greek cuisine, took in a soccer game and hit up a local house party.

After immersing ourselves in the great Athinan culture we decided it was time to head to Mykonos. Why? Because Parks insisted "Mykonos is a 24 hour crazy party." All we had to do was catch our ferry to Mykonos at 7:35 am from Athens, sounds easy enough right? Well I am unsure if you know Kat and Parks, but these two will be late to their own funeral guaranteed! We arrived at the port at 7:30 am and when we could not find the ferry we were suppose to get on. After stopping and asking the ferry office, Parks asked if they would hold the ferry for us to which the nice lady responded, "no, but you can run." Needless to say after about a 300 yd sprint we arrived at the ferry at 7:34. Here are some candid shots right after the sprint as we found some seats.
Stay tuned to hear the tale of the Winking Tigers on Mykonos (The Real Mykonos Story), it is much more entertaining than the Athens story I promise!
