Mykonos, the island of windmills
“For the Lord is the great God, the great King above all gods. In his hand are the depths of the earth, and the mountain peaks belong to him. The sea is his, for he made it, and his hands formed the dry land.”
Psalms 95:3-5 NIV
We boarded our ship this morning and headed for the Greek island of Mykonos. We did not have any official excursions planned for our arrival but our guide wanted to take us on foot to see various things.
Mykonos is know for its ancient windmills on the coast that were built in the 1500s. While there are no longer any blades on the windmills, they stand strong as ever.
Mykonos is also a place where people come to party. As I overhead one of the tour guides this afternoon, it has no Biblical significance. Yet it is a beautiful island.
Unfortunately the winds and waves were too high for us to risk taking boats to the dock. So we were not allowed to go ashore. This next picture is a little sad because the passenger boat is leaving us to go back home without us.
So instead we ate dinner in the fancy restaurant on the ship. I’m not exactly sure what possessed me to get the seafood etouffee but…. I ate it all except for the creepy, bug-eyed red crustacean who got shuffled over to another plate and covered up.
We had a fun night at the show on board and did a little karaoke.
LORD, thank you for giving wisdom to those in charge of making decisions on the ship. I wish we could have gone onto Mykonos. But we had such a good time tonight laughing and resting. Thank you for your provisions. Amen.
