Hello all,
Today was a pretty slow moving day for all of us. Due to some high overnight winds Jen woke up early and brought the outdoor drying rack in so that our swimsuits and towels wouldn't end up across the island. After dad and the Nanas woke up, there was a trip taken to the 24/7 bakery nearby our Airbnb. Most everyone else slept in until around 10:30-11 this morning.
After some breakfast Kayla, Connor, Dad, and Jen all took a windy walk to the large grocery stores that are around 1.5 miles away from our Airbnb. (Parent note: this is the Lidl mentioned in prior posts.). On our way back home, Kayla and Connor went to get more bottled water since the tap water on the island isn't really drinkable for non-natives. So we picked up some bottled water from the last of the large grocery stores and walked the last half mile carrying 12 1.5 liter bottles of water each. This was absolutely brutal for the both of us because the cardboard handles were actively disintegrating as we moved. This resulted in the plastic part of the handles digging into our hands as we walked. (Parent note: we sure appreciated the effort! And now we are well stocked with water ... for a day or two! We were advised not to drink the local tap water due to the high salinizatiion, which the locals are used to. While we are not fond of buying water in plastic bottles, we all quickly agreed not to risk it!)
When that painful experience was over we all ate a late lunch. After lunch, Kayla and Connor took some time to relax in the hot tub and the rest of the crew went to walk to the (much closer!) grocery store once again to purchase some potatoes and onions for breakfast tomorrow. Upon their return the Nanas and Jen spent some time in the hot tub with Dad making sure they were stocked up on wine during that time. After hot tub time came happy hour and eventually a run to a couple of the gyro places for dinner.
While everyone was sat around eating dinner there was much laughing from everyone present. And it was at this point that I and everyone else realized there were no pictures from today.
Note 2 things from the picture above. I realized there were no pictures from today as I was writing (hence the open laptop in front of me). And the notable exception of Gage in the picture. He had his phone taken away for spending too much time on the throne a few days ago, and today he got it back.
We have big plans for tomorrow! So be sure to check back and see what happened! (Maybe in 2 days though since Griffin is writing tomorrow)
