My most memorable moment in Greece would have to be when we went to the island of Symi and decided to climb to the hilltop to get a panoramic view of the harbor. For some reason Markelle and I decided to wear sundresses and running shoes; true European fashion. Actually it’s not, but I gotcha didn’t I? We wore sundresses because we planned to go swimming and wanted something that could have been taken off really easily; that sounded provocative but it’s not. We wore running shoes for comfort. If you can imagine our outfit it was sundresses, with leggings, a bright cerulean rain shell and running shoes. It was after lunch that we had time to kill so we decided to find our way to the top. We didn’t know the way to the top so we just winged it. After wandering around we made it to the top. We decided to climb up the last portion of the cliff which was a rock face. The only somewhat problematic thing during the climb was the fact that I was wearing a dress that flowed with the wind and let me tell you, it was very windy at the top so I’m basically trying to say that whoever was behind me climbing up had a clear shot of my heiny/buttocks/donk/trunk/etc. The view from the top was amazing! I saw the entire harbor and the entire town down the hill. I also had a clear view of the town that was settled into the hillside. I wandered off on my own, no surprise, and had a little moment of silence and took in the view. It was a feeling that words can’t explain. I sat on the mountain side with my feet dangling over the edge for quite a while until it was time to go back down to head to the ferry. It was one of the funnest days of my life and I’ll always keep the memories made on this day close to my heart.
Stay classy Athens and thanks for stopping by,
