Sat next to this dork on the ferry. Finally almost a whole day with my eebs. We started with lunch of fish, pasta, and kebabs. Detail of sad lion for comparison. We all loved this regal-but-mopey little guy. The ladies made sad faces with the sad lion. Hydra, like every place we’ve been on this trip, is gorgeous. Walking back to the little town so Isabel can catch the ferry back to Athens for class tomorrow. Five Prime Ministers Square in town. We stopped at a bakery for local treats: Local traditional egg custard in phyllo with honey, and a few little powdered-sugar almond cookies. So beautiful you just want to sit and soak it up alone… …or with the people you love. We “hiked” (really a couple hundred stony stair steps) down to this “beach” (really five feet of pebbles). The girls skipped rocks. Isabel, being Isabel, gathered rocks and admired them. After Isabel left we walked into a village about half a mile up the road. Mamie, being Mamie, took pictures of doors. We ended the night with dinner of very fresh fish (right by the docks where the fishing boats launch), Greek salad, some kind of cooked green, and some kind of dip/spread we didn’t catch the name of. A beautiful evening with my sweetie… …my pumpkin… …and the setting sun. As if to punctuate the beauty of the day, Venus made an appearance in the fading sky. Lazy morning walking around Hydra Town. Hydra Town. We walked up up up the windy streets to get a view of the town. A slightly extreme example of what passes for a “street” in Hydra. Then we walked a couple of miles along the waterline streets to a beach. That’s Sophie way up there impatient to get to the beach. We took pictures… …and in the crystal clear water. She had to be careful because there were sea urchins in the crevices between rocks. But you could see them easily. …of the beautiful beach and view… …while Sophie played on the rocks… Back to town for a light lunch on the harbor while we waited for our ferry.
