ZAKYNTHOS CONTINUED

When Kristen and I were in Mykonos, we thought we would be able to participate in a "Greek night" hosted by our hotel. This "Greek night" would have consisted of eating Greek food while watching Greek dancing and listening to Greek music. However, that Greek night was cancelled and we were quite disappointed. Luckily, on the second night we were in Zakynthos, a nearby restaurant was having a Greek night. Kristen and I had already tasted traditional Greek food, so eating was not the night's highlight; rather, it was the Greek dancing. There was an opportunity for everyone at the restaurant to learn the dances, so Kristen and I participated. After learning the Greek dances, Kristen and I decided to do some dancing of our own and started to spin each other around. Not one minute later did one of the Greek dancers pick Kristen up by the waist and start spinning her around in the air! Meanwhile, I was in the background snapping photos of this unforgettable scene...

I also found one of my most favorite places in the world in Zakynthos. When Kristen and I first arrived on the island, we visited a travel agent to book flights to Corfu (where I am now) and Athens (where I will be flying tomorrow). This agent told us the part of the island that she considered the most beautiful; the name of the place was Port Limnosa. Kristen and I found Port Limnosa and were in awe as soon as we saw it. I would try to describe it but words would not do it justice. One thing I can say is that the rocks which surrounded the bluish green lagoon made perfect platforms for cliff jumping :)

Another new thing that Kristen and I did in Zakynthos was take breaks from lounging in the sun with half an hour yoga sessions. Kristen and I have both done Bikram yoga before so we just did the poses we could remember. After doing yoga with Kristen (a former gymnast), I am convinced that my flexibility could use some work!
