The beach in front of our hotel - Skiathos
Sunday - Easter
This morning we slept in until about 10:00 am. We definitely made up for all the early mornings. By lunchtime, we were already on the beach. The weather was phenomenal and we kept thinking about how lucky we were, because the weather was probably not this nice back at home. When we got to the beach a large gathering was being held in honor of Easter. There were goats on spits, roasting over open fires. Papa really wanted us to try them but we couldn’t stomach it. We walked to the far corner of the beach and, while Anneke built a sand castle, Chloe did some more beachcombing. After a little while, it got hot so Anneke went swimming. Anneke said , “The water was not as cold as the Puget Sound, but much colder than a hot tub.” She enjoyed it a lot. She tried to catch a few fish but wasn’t deep enough.
We stayed on the beach until the late afternoon, and decided that it was time to go back to the room for the scheduled siesta. We rested, and at dinnertime we went again down to the beach and had a traditional Greek meal of cheese pie, salad, lamb (though Chloe didn’t eat any) and a custard desert. We were all tired and ready to go home. Anneke said, “What a wonderful day we had!” and we all agreed.
