Boat to Paradise

Today's the day! After lunch we'll take a boat to Alexandropoulos, where I will catch the evening flight to Athens. I'm excited to come home! It's been a very long trip -- although I suppose it isn't over until after Angola.

Yesterday, Genevieve and I caught a boat tour around the island. The greens and golds of the fields looked so beautiful from the water, and the peak of Mt. Fengari was shrouded in misty grey clouds. It was stunning. But THEN the boat dropped us at the most beautiful beach. The water was a perfect azure, and the light grey rocks plunged from their peaks directly into the sea. There were little coves to swim in and explore -- and one cove that you could swim through from our little sandy beach. On the other side was a protected little pool dotted with further coves and large tawny rocks 20 feet below your feet. Stunning! We could not believe our luck. I wish I could post photos! I will when I get home. It was the perfect end to our amazing Grecian summer.
