Day 2: Delos & Mykonos

Today was a SUPER packed day! I’m not quite used to the 10 hour time difference yet so I was wide awake at 3:00am. Thank goodness for 24 hour room service! I enjoyed a nice cup of hot chocolate until Cody woke up. :-) We had a fabulous breakfast on our balcony as the ship was pulling up to Delos. 

YUMMMMY!

We boarded a tender (small boat) that took us to Delos.

Delos is the largest archaeological site in Europe. It is said to be the birthplace of Apollo. It once had a population of over 35,000 people in it’s day! Now, it has no inhabitants, restaurants, or stores- it is strictly a tourist site. We saw a theater, what once were considered luxury houses, and a museum with many of the archeological finds. 

I loved seeing all of the mosaics- many were made of precious stones. The detail was incredible! Cody is a MAJOR history buff so he was totally in his element! 

We boarded the ship for lunch and had a awesome time visiting with other top directors AND brand new National Sales Director, Jeanie Martin. We ate lunch with Mary Strauss (if that name is familiar that’s because she lives in Folsom and many of you saw Mary at career conference this year!) and Million Dollar Director Amy Allgood. Now it was my turn to be in MY element! Amy and Mary were a wealth of ideas, suggestions, and inspiration! I took so many great notes and really got to know them both better. This trip has been great so far but the friends I am making is so exciting!

The food has not been disappointing. We had a amazing feast and ended it with the BEST baklava I have EVER had (then again, this is the FIRST place outside of Costco that I’ve tried it- LOL) 

After lunch (and a short one hour cruise) we boarded another tender and headed to the island of Mykonos. I fell in love with the charming architecture! My favorite color is blue so I LOVED all of the white washed buildings with bright blue shutters and railings. I’m on a quest to find a painting by a local artist some sort of scene of Mykonos or Santorini (tomorrow). The colors would be PERFECT for my living room! :-) 

Lia and Top Directors Kathryn Engstrom and Holly Ennis!

We toured the city for about 3 hours and visited a monastery, fabulous beaches, and even got to sample some of the local food and drinks. 

Can you believe how HUGE this pelican is? He was very friendly and let Cody pet him! :-)

We are pooped so tonight is room service and a movie. :-) We might venture out to the pool later tonight if we wake up! Tomorrow is Santorini and I have been looking forward to this port the most! I am still amazed at how well Mary Kay is rewarding us with this trip. I knew it would be good- but ALL of my expectations have been blown out of the water- this has been BEYOND amazing and we’re only on the first day!
