First day in Naxos

The view from our window. Unfortunately, this was not our dock. But even still, had we not gotten lost and done a twenty minute detour, we would still have been very close to our pier.
Abe took Clarissa out on the ferry for some air.
I don’t think Abe meant to take a picture of these people, but they were all LDS and had ties to Utah and mutual friends with Abe. Their seats were next to ours on the ferry, and I figured out they were LDS in about five minutes. We enjoyed them.
Abe took pictures of all the sleepyheads.
For dinner we drove to a taverna. The food was very yummy.
We picked a fresh fish and they grilled it for us.

After dinner we explored Apollo’s temple at the port.

It had been raining hard when we arrived in Naxos, but I think the splotches on Clarissa might be from jumping in puddles or getting splashed by wave sprays.

Abe had the kids pose. I am guessing he asked them to throw up?
Here maybe he asked them to look strong?

We let the kids play in this little beach cove for a bit.
A rainbow!
Back in our villa, the kids and Abe determined to try the unheated pool. It was freezing cold (so I heard).
Clarissa is shivering but still wants to swim some more.

Also here is a tour of the house and area that Abe made:

A wonderful first day in Naxos!
