Mykonos, Greece

Its official....we finally arrived in the Greek Islands! First stop Mykonos. Such a divine place to visit. The landscape is filled with whitewashed buildings, accents of blue and turquoise doors, window frames and roofs and touches of the most brilliant Bogenvilla. The town of Mykonos has so much to offer! Tons of local shops, great eateries and an energetic, inviting atmosphere.
Our second night in town we did it up with a fancy din din, delicious bottle of local wine and participated in the infamous Mykonos nightlife. We loved every minute of it, dancing to old school jams like Aretha, James and even Tom Jones! Fan-freaking-tastic!!
Oh and we can not forget about Pedro the Pelican. Pedro has been part of the Mykonos scene since the 1950's. He was rescued by a local man and eventually set back to the wild but decided that Mykonos was so amazing he would make it his new home! Smart pelican - we contemplated doing the same. Strolling the streets with him as he soaks up the attention and attempts to blend with the crowd was quite enjoyable.
