Second day on Poros

It’s been a while. The second day on Poros was amazing. We got up early and rented four-wheelers for the day. We zipped around all of the island that was paved. It is kind of mountainous so we had to do a lot of switchbacks and stuff. Bennet and I continued our domestic partnership since Jessman and Heather left and its only us and Oz and Cassie, and for whatever reason they always do things together. Heather barely made her boat, the gate was raising when she got there. Lucky. The first really cool thing that we saw was a monastery that was tucked into the side of the mountain. We wanted to go inside, but it was siesta hours so we could not. Our hotel was on the south side of the island so when we got to the north side of the island we were confronted with an absolutely amazing view. It was too gorgeous to describe with words or to portray with pictures, so you’ll have to go for yourself. We made our way down to the rocky beach, and I decided I wanted to do some climbing. Not like straight up but we made our way around the cliff and there was a group of Parisian students that were hanging out on a big rock about 25 feet above the water. A few of them jumped off and I enjoy a good rush, so I did and it was amazing, Oz got a good pic. We jetted back up the mountain and explored Poseidon’s Sanctuary, which was kind of disappointing, but we got some good senior pics in. We returned our four wheelers, and the lady that worked at the shop had lived in America before and she decided she wanted to talk to us for an hour straight about a lot of things. She was really interesting but she repeated herself a lot. She made fun of emo people, so that was funny. She talked a lot about how she wanted to kick her kids out of the house at 18, but that is against the grain in Greece and she says she gets a lot of flak for it from her neighbors. We left the conversation and walked by a soccer game to get some food for the night. We got a new wine from our neighbors and it was even better than the night before. Another early night.
