Viva le Tour! In honor of the start of The Tour (tour de France), I went for a ride this AM even with sustained winds of 25+ mph. Unfortunately I went solo because Desiree got a flat just at the end of our last ride together and the one spare that we had left had a hole in it! Next time- pack more tubes. The ride was tough as the head winds up steep climbs make for good training. During my ride I had an epiphany- all the fire extinguishers that we see, it's because it would be very difficult to get a small vehicle much less a fire truck into the area.
After I got back, off to a second breakfast. We then wanted to head to the beach, however the closest beach was about 4km away which would be too far to walk with the stuff we needed to carry and the hills we would walk up. To the pool it was were we stayed for about 3 hours and i slept as usual and Desiree played and relaxed.
Food was on my mind and not in my belly so we were off to find food. A nice local grill was in walkable distance that satisfied the appetite an back to the hotel to nap and relax before heading back to town for dinner.

We walked around town for a bit ending up in the 'local' area of town and casually making our way to find a restaurant for dinner. We ended up at Fish Tavern which has a great concept- you go down to the kitchen and choose your own raw seafood and they would cook and prepare it for you. Desiree ended up with giant shrimp, that looked like they were on steroids, paired with rice. I had spaghetti napolitean that was delicious. As we were leaving the restaurant, we asked our server for a few of the table mats as it was nice b/w photo of 'little italy.' Also, Desiree found an empty ouzo bottle with male anatomical parts and decided to permanently borrow it. Our dining experience was the best yet since we've been in Greece- food, atmosphere, service, people and we got to take home a little art.
While waiting for our shuttle home we saw Michael heading into town and had the pleasure of taking pictures with him. He says we are now friends!
