Day 17& 18: Myyyyyyykonos

Mykonos, oh Mykonos. We loved you for so many reasons. Beyond being a gorgeous town of white walls and colorful shutters, you introduced us to many wonderful things:

• Taziki- I still maintain that the ultimate spa treatment would be a bath in a vat of Taziki. It's gotta be good for your skin, or at least I tell myself that. We managed to order it at every meal and it was heavenly every time
• Shaping our asses- Our hotel was at the top of a hill and the town was at the bottom. We wanted to complain every time we had to walk back up, but we knew that it was good for us and that it helped to justify the amount of Taziki we ate
• Pink pelican(s)- I’m still not sure if there was more than one, but it was huge and georgous. I wonder if it could get into Harvard law with its pink hue like Elle Woods did
• Shopping at 5am- No joke. Some say that Greece is this economic predicament because Greeks don’t work. Not so in Mykonos. Stores were open at 5am in order to prey on drunk girls who like jewelry. I narrowly escaped the trap but only because I met a MD/MBA. Liz and Tors made friends with the owner of this one store and her daughter was so beautiful that she had suitors lining up to marry her (at the age of 18)
• Crepes- I couldn’t even keep the nutella and banana crepe in my hand. I was overwhelmed by emotion and sensation that I couldn’t speak or think. Unreal
• Super Paradise Beach- 2 euro for a beach chair and a view of super paradise. Beach, nude sunbathing, cocktails, world cup, dance music, and gogo dancers created the perfect storm that is Super Paradise beach. The logo for the beach is a serpent; the perfect illusion to the temptation that pushed Adam and Eve beyond the comfort of Eden*
