Ferry to Paros
Bright and early start to our day today with a 06:00 breakfast. Ferry left the port at 07:25 and we arrived in Paros at 11:30. Paid for our car rental and we were off to our airbnb, which is the tiny village of Kostos. Basically this area is still untouched by tourism, with the exception of our airbnb. With about 240 permanent residents, there's homes, a few churches and two small restaurants, one which wasn't serving food during lunch (not exactly sure why). So we ventured to our only other option in our area, which thankfully had food because we were all really hungry.
I asked, "do you have an English menu?"
The woman replied, "yes, you ask and I will answer."
I said, "do you have chicken?"
And she then started sharing some food options with us. We ended up ordering lemon chicken, fresh tomatoes and fried cheese, which were all cooked (heated up) right there in the restaurant. We also had some entertainment during our lunch, with a few old guys playing their crazy instruments. After lunch it was off to the beach to meet our new (world schooling) friends. The water is still cold so we didn't swim. Today was also crazy windy.
It's interesting being in Greece because the pace is so much slower and rural than we have been used to over the past month. This week will be a lot of relaxing time, catching up on some math and maybe even the littles taking their standardized tests.
