9.3 An evening at Mykonos!

We took a little boat to this famous island in the evening, and the pictures speak for themselves...









The mascot of Mykonos is Petros the pelican. Travis, Caitlin, and Jadyn got to see it!  















This is a fresh fish market which is still utilized 































It’s built like a maze because they were prone to being plundered by pirates
















The buildings have curved edges to reduce noise from wind

Windy hair pic! 









This store owner needs to go back to sophomore English!

The Parthenon, the largest and most sacred, was dedicated to Athena, the virgin. 8x17 column temple, Doric style.  Amphitheater, odeon of herodes used for musical concerts which is still used! Holds 5000 spectators. It was built in 2nd century AD and used to have a wooden roof. Buildings in Athens are required to be low so as to not block the acropolis and show respect for the ancient ruins.  Paul preached from this rock (Mars) and his words are foun
