We are having an absolutely great trip, due in large part to all the time and effort Dale put into the planning. Hours and hours of research and nailing down detailsee. Making contacts and reservations and getting to every train or bus station,airport or ferry terminal with all appropriate paperwork and always on time. He is truly tour guide extraordinary.  Doug and I wanted to thank him for all his efforts but hadn’t really known what exactly to do. Finally last night it came to us. He needed his own paddle for leading his tour group.  

We then went in search of a restaurant for a traditional Greek meal. We were turned away from several being as we didn’t have reservations. It seems it was dance night in Mykonos and things filled up fast. We finally found what we were looking for, a nice quiet spot with a great looking menu. Our waiter was very personable and helped us with our selections. We had just gotten our drinks (Lynda’ s came with a lit sparkler in it) when the music began to play and, you guessed it, the dancing began. It started slowly enough with just two girls in traditional dress doing the dancing. But soon they were pulling customers in to the action. It got louder and more energetic as time went on. At several points we found ourselves in a Greek conga line. There was was laughing and dancing and frequent shouts of  OPA which we thought meant cheers since there was also a lot of drinking going on. We found out later that opa is an expression they use that means great fun. We are having that. OPA!!
