Random pics of Mykonos

Typical street in Mykonos town, except the throngs of people were missing - this was taken during the soccer match between Germany and Greece.  During the bailout talks last Spring, 2 members of Merkela's cabinet suggested that Greece sell it's islands - and the Acropolis - to reduce it's debt. Needless to say, the Greeks were outraged, so the stakes were high with this match. Unfortunately, the Germans won, 4-2.  The town was quite subdued afterwards, even though there were huge masses of people from THREE (!) cruise ships.

We befriended this woman during our walks through the town - and ended up purchasing several of her hand-woven goods, which were meticulously made of natural fibers. Her story was quite sad (she lost her oldest child 15 years ago), and she never regained her gusto for life after the loss. Photographs of her at her loom over the years are prominently displayed in front of this small shop where she has spent most of her life making beautiful goods for island visitors.
