Folegandros

Not too far from Milos is Folegandros, a beautiful tiny island.  We decided it would be the perfect place to take a day trip to take with Daphne and MJ.

To quote Veronica Mars (thanks Daphne for getting me addicted to yet another show), Randy – you should only ever wear this.

The ferry was only an hour long and we were all in good spirits, even this guy. Gone were the ferry trips of yore with bouzoukia players and soccer leagues.

We arrived at the port and drove up to Hora, one of the oldest Medieval town in the Cyclades.  While most Greek towns have one main square with all the life of the town, Hora has three in a row.  We chose one of the many cute restaurants and had a yummy meal.

 

 

After a yummy lunch we headed to the beach.  This time not only Adam, but Malcolm also fell asleep.  So I waited in the car with the boys, ah life with two little boys 🙂 thanks goodness for kindle on my phone and a new David Sedaris.  After a bit, Randy came back and switched with me so  I got a whole15 minutes of beach time in before both boys woke up.  After the beach we headed back into town and walked around for a bit.

We picked another square and another restaurant for dinner.  I love long yummy dinners in Greece and especially love them with Daphne and MJ.  They last so long and always end with the boys rotating around everyone’s naps and lasting for a long time after we had finished eating.  I love how in Greece there’s no rush to finish eating, you just want to linger and linger.  Even Adam seemed to get this and loved the after dinner lingering.  In fact, he probably loved it the most.

Then the real star of the day.  We had some time before our ferry back to Milos, so we decided to have a drink at the Anemomilos Hotel.  Our friends Erika and Henry stayed here when they visited Folegandros after our wedding and if we had known how beautiful it was we would have spent the whole day there.  We ordered a couple of desserts and drinks and watched the sunset.
