On my way to Rome via Athens first

Sorry it's been so long, but I've been busy living. I've tried different Greek food and even like their fresh tomatoes.

I've met lots of incredibly nice and fun people. Tina from Scandinavia, Pavlo and his friends (they own businesses in Mykonos). I an American that lives in Dubai and his friend Daniella who is a girl from Germany on leave from the military.

I've spent time on Paradise beach, seen a guy wearing an elephant shaped thong entertaining the customers, and a Pelican so big I couldn't believe it was just walking around the town.

The highlight for me was visiting the Archeological site of Delos. I took a ship to the island where I walk around the ancient city and touch engraved words carved there over 2000 years ago. It was so powerful and moving I wanted to cry. The energy was still alive to be shared with visitors of today's time. What an impact. The mosaics were breathtaking and the tools they had and fishing gear aren't that much different than some of our tools today. It's must have been truly magnificant.

I feel like I'm leaving a home, but I am ready for my next adventure. Me in the big city of Rome trying to figure out what bus to take out of 100 different choices. Oh well I'll take several deep breaths and remember as I always tell my family. I'm just making memories!

It's strange how different traveling by myself has been. People around me I hear fighting in some of the most beautiful places on earth. I'm busy enjoying the moment. Besides who am I going to fight with myself. I'm all I got :)

Got to go soon and take a 4 hour ferry ride. In Athens I'll go meet my friends who are waiting to here how I liked my island visits.
