Since a visit to Greece didn't seem complete without seeing at least one of the islands, we decided to take a 5 1/2 hour ferry trip to Naxos. Naxos is a major tourist destination during the high season, but since we visited just after that, we got the best of both worlds: the weather was still good (mid-70s and sunny for 2 of our 3 days there) and the prices were fairly low. St. George beach was exactly 56 seconds (walking at a leisurely pace) from our the front door of our hotel and we took full advantage of it! The water was a little chilly, but that didn't stop Jesse from getting some swimming in.

Lauren,
ReplyDeleteI love your blog! Megan (from ASWA) passed it along to me. The pictures are beautiful and it looks like a wonderful experience. Much better than Missouri!! Have fun and looking forward to more posts!
I have to start sharing your posts with Jason; he'd be impressed by the food pictures!
ReplyDeleteI giggled the last time I went into Panera - a "European style bakery cafe." Yes, you have the real thing. But do those Euro cafes have caramel apple tea lattes?! Hmm?! My first one was fabulous. The second try was pretty darn good. I should probably not try it for a third time and ruin it!
would anything stop Jesse from getting in a body of water?
