Hello everyone!! I am on the beautiful island of Mykonos and loving life as the beach is beautiful and the place that I am staying at is called Paradise Beach resort.  I have my own bungalo and am right on the beach all for 15 Euros per night.  Can't really beat that, at least until I get to Thailand.  The boat ride from Athens took about 5 hours but well worth it.  I sat outside with my music and took in the sun.  A lot of people thought it was to cold to be outside but then again they are not from Montana.  The kids from Texas had their sweatshirts on while I had my shirt off and taking in as much sun as I could.  Mom, Ginger, Kathy and everyone else who always gets mad at me for not putting on Sun Screen, don't worry as I have not forgot one time!!!  I know... your little boy is growing up and getting smarter in his old age....ok well maybe afraid of being the only red kid here.  Paradise Beach is a lot of fun and very interesting.  The rule about European sun bathers is true.  They are all nude, and I mean everything.  Imagine white boy Swanny doing that.  Ouch......Enough said.  Though some of the girls are nice there are a lot of gran parents out here so nothing to exciting to look at.  The beer is so much better while you are sitting on the ocean with hot girls around you all soaking up the sun. Doug, Jake, Ryan, Jay, it is similar to our times in Mazatlan.  Everyone parties all day long and then hits one of the 9 clubs that this place has. Everything from hip hop, disco, blues, and of course the 80's.  Ginger you would be in heaven here!  Tomorrow I am taking off for Ios, another island that is about 4 to 5 hours away for a couple of days and then heading to the black beaches of Santorini.  I can't wait.  I know that this will scare a few of you, but I have changed around the plans a little bit.  Next week I am flying to Istanbul, Turkey.  Everyone that I have been hanging out with has loved it and I was kind of jealous of all their stories so I decided to take advantage of my flexibility and check it out.  Don't worry though as I hear Turkey just got bombed, so it should be safe for another few weeks!!!!JK  I hope that all is well with everyone and I will talk to you soon.
