After another ferry ride, we found ourselves at island number two: Naxos.
We stayed in Agia Anna, a sleepy beach town just awakening for the tourist season. Many of the restaurants had just opened the week we were there. It was nice to have our run of the place, and it was fun to get to know the restaurant owners on a personal level. There were so many palapas to choose from and so little time . . . . It was really neat to see restaurants scrubbing out freezers, freshening fish tanks for the catch of the day, and refinishing deck chairs. The islands really do shut down for the winter!

Breakfast on the beach -- Seriously Will, could your life get any better????
Nana Bubbles and Grandpa were so sweet to take Will for the evening which gave Jeff and I a seldom-experienced night out for my birthday!
I won't name names, but one member of our group of five liked to rise earlier than the rest of us. Nonetheless, the other four begrudgingly found their happy places going for early morning walks along the beach. Funny enough, this became a daily ritual and was a true Naxos highlight for us all by the end of our stay.
Funny enough, our early riser would take a morning nap on our morning walks. Oh the humanity!
