Last night turned into a session of free Greek lessons by locals and dancing at the local hot spot. And when I say hot spot I’m talking hot spot in Greek Island terms he he…. oooh ehm geeeh!! Long island ice teas and icky shots served by bartenders with way to much gel in the hair dos, wearing whistles, way to tight tank tops and cowboy hats.

I’ve been feeling rather guilty during the last couple of days. The nagging feeling in my tummy has been haunting me and not allowing me any peace for a while. Then today, when I had some time alone I tried to break it down. I’m in Greece where the sun is shining from a cloudless sky. The Ocean is cyan blue and when the water gets to salty I can jump into a refreshing swimming pool big enough to swim swim laps. Citrus fruits, ripe and ready to pick right

Back in our tiny village and happy as a clam. I could get used to waking up here every day and taking a morning swim in the ocean before my freshly squeezed orange juice. What a bliss. Yesterday we discovered the most beautiful little laguna with crystal clear blue water on our way back from the city. It was like bumping into a tiny piece of paradise on Earth. Even though I live in LA and I have the beach 30 minutes from my home it’s somehow not the same.
