Monday, September 12

After two straight days at Super Paradise, we were ready to explore more of Mykonos island.  We could either continue to take buses or rent a car, moped, or 4-wheeler.  We "compromised" between the safe car and the crazy moped by agreeing on a 4-wheeler.   Unfortunately, between the time we reached this compromise and the time to actually rent the vehicle, Hirsh had freaked himself out by reading all kinds of horror stories online about the dangers of driving a 4-wheeler around a place like Mykonos.  He was strongly opposed to the idea, but Sarah likes to live on the edge and take her chances.  So we rented a 4-wheeler. 

We ended up having a great time exploring different beaches and feeling the wind in our hair.  Many of these smaller beaches are pretty isolated and can't be reached by bus, so the 4-wheeler was a good call.  This stunner of a beach was our favorite...

There was Starbucks, of course!

And then we drove up to a ridge with a spectacular view we had found earlier in the day to watch the beautiful sunset.

As we walked around town looking for dinner, we decided to hop off the beaten path and wind through the quiet residential streets downtown.  Hirsh happened upon a very special find on someone's clothesline- the same exact sheets he had as a little boy in Chicago!
