Naxos Island – driving to the mountain villages

19 October

• Michelle’s phone is having a problem charging and therefore not taking pictures. She has to rely on others to take photos or has to constantly ask to borrow a phone camera.
• We like God’s beauty in nature
• Repeat: Greece is mainly arid, mountainous, rocky, has tight roads, and turquoise water on sunny days
• Temple of Demeter (530 BC) converted to a church in the 6th Century.

• Chalkio is worth the drive. Stopping for coffee and snacks can lead to many adventures if in the right mindset for all parties. We walked past a huge tree in front of the local school and found ourselves walking narrow roads in the village looking for a distillery.

• Vallindras Kitron Distillery was hidden in the middle of town and through the blue corner door.

• Greek Gyros contain French Fries
• Naxos goats and sheep high in the mountains have bells around their necks like the cows in Switzerland.

• Best to end the night or day on high notes, these being Alyko Beach, frisbee throwing, shell collecting in crevices and a walk by the port for Waffle House ice cream.
