"Are you sisters?"..."no"... "Are you girlfriends?"...

In Mykonos these were definitely the questions we were asked the most... and the answer to that last question we sometimes wanted to answer "yes" so Italians would leave us alone! The only thing that I have ever been exposed to that minutely compares to this island is only from my youth viewings of MTV Spring Break... did I just infer that my youth was over because I take that back and add- I'll never grow up!

Anywho, imagine this: you are laying on the beach dozing and enjoying your 2nd frozen alcoholic beverage of the day that the cute bar tender- who remembers your name- served you, then suddenly you are awaken by the unts,unts, unts... beat of techno music, only to turn around and see that cute bar on the beach has now turned into a dance party with no less than 200 hundred people dancing on tables and chairs, drinking excessively and the best part - gay hilarious men everywhere! My description does not even begin to do it justice- so here's some photographic evidence:

The beach that suddenly transformed into a party was called Paradise- and I do think that Guns N' Roses was talking about this place! It was about a 20 min walk from Pragana beach where we were staying in what I will call "Dad's tool shed"- with walls that were made of breathable canvas and had 2 single beds inside, oh and a light!! fancy shmancy huh? :P

We experienced many noteworthy things in Mykonos- that I will not blog about in much detail :P In brief this is what it was like: skirt raising winds, 8€ beers (Budweiser of all things- btw that =$11!), gay men, Horny Italians, Pelicans that roam through the city all year round (ok just one Pelican- he's a legend and we ran into him the first night), gay men, redonkulously skinny girls, tattoos, people who don't go out until 3am, gay men, sweat-dripping heat, cloudless skies, carrots "to remember me by", and gays with hair dryers who mug Carley of her lighter.... sounds fun huh? :P trust me... it was!

Oh, and fyi- we left Mykonos bug bite free and human looking again! and I won the most tan body and blondest hair competition! :D
