The Adventures of the Token American: The Magnifique Island of Mykonos

I've always wanted to visit Greece, and just never could have imagined that I would actually make it there. Okay, well maybe I could think of getting to Athens, but actually having the opportunity to go to a Greek island was ridiculous. I, Siobhan O'Sullivan, went to the Greek island of Mykonos. When am I ever going to have the opportunity to do that again? Not in a very long time.

Mykonos was absolutely beautiful. There are really just no words to describe the picturesque city. When I think of Greece, I think of blue and white, and that's exactly what I found in Mykonos. Small, cute, white buildings with blue shutters, or blue roofs. It was just...like nothing else. I found that the while buildings actually look like they are covered in fondant, you know that stuff that cake decorators use on cakes? Yeah that. It was really funny actually. My mom and I couldn't get over the fact that it just looked like the Greeks took a huge piece of fondant and covered things...making sure to smooth around the edges.

Oh, before I forget, I should mention how I arrived to the island. Well, we took a boat, Mom and I. Now, I thought this would be great. I love boats. I love water. Yay! No, not yay. The boat was so incredibly rocky, it was a bit ridiculous. It was a really windy day and it was honestly like we were in a wave pool. At one point, the boat literally tipped over. You know that part in the titanic where you hear//see all the porcelain fall and break? Well, I thought that was going to happen. I heard glasses moving, I saw things rolling, and I thought we were taking a swim in the water. Luckily, it happened towards to end of our journey and we arrived soon after. It was very frightening though.

So this is Mykonos. Enjoy the trip :)
