Mykonos and Naxos Greece

Nothing says relaxation after the end of the school year more than sitting on a beach and doing nothing.....so Greece seemed to be a good choice.

Our Mykonos Villa.


Next stop Paradise beach.
Relaxing until the DJ started pumping dance music at 3 in the afternoon.

Sunset scooter ride.
Scooters on islands are the way to go.

Alternative energy.


Drink stop.


Mykonos power plant.


Mykonos harbor.


Greased up on the island of Naxos.


Mexican food on the beach with a Yucca plant stir stick.


Dinner spot....Awesome!


Busted on the moustache shot.


Strolling in the old town.



This was actually taken in a Walmart photo booth.


Emily and Blue Lightning.


Breakfast on the beach.


Lunch.

Did I mention all we did was eat, beach, sleep.


This garbage bin was so fun I threw away my dignity for a pic.

Worth it.


Last stop back in Mykonos and last Mythos beer for a while.


Thanks to a failing Greek economy hotels were really cheap.


Moon over Mykonos.

Val Versasca Switzerland

It is a rare opportunity when someone asks you if you want to drive some students to go bungee jumping off the 'James Bond' dam ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1VqD-EnvLQ ). It's even more rare for them to say it will be free to jump!



First impressions.

Vincent showing a little anxiety.

I think touching your face is a sign of stress.

Carlos was not so sure.

But he jumped anyway.



Danny-more falling less jumping.

Did I mention this is one of the highest bungee jumps in the world at 721 feet.

I tried the theory of if I jumped really far it wouldn't feel so much like falling.


Definitely falling.

Still falling.
