Tanning with the Venus de Milo

We arrived at the boat and sailed over the next day to the beautiful island of Milos. This morning (June 18) we rented a car to drive around the island and went to the JAW DROPPING site of Sarakniko. Here it is pure white rocks surrounding a deep secluded inlet. Not to far away was a shipwreck of an old barge ship.  

Then we were off to a lunch at a small local place. After was the best part of the day; the beach at Firopotamos. The water here was the perfect temperature and the sun was great for tanning (:

Later on in the day we went a quick road trip across to the north end of the island to see where then Venus de Milo. The story of this is an interesting one to say the least. How it goes is this farmer was in his field walking around and he found this statue in his field. He decided to sell it to a French man but at the same time he sold it to another man. While the other man was about to take it to his own country the French man came on his boat. There was a huge scuffle and as the story goes this is when the Venus de Milo’s arm disappeared, and to this day no one knows where they are.

 

So then we drove to an ancient roman theater, this had an incredible ocean view and you can see why they had it there

This was a nice end to the day as we returned the car and to the boat. We would lastly like to give a shout out to Kathy B from Dawson School. WE LOVE YOU KATHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! –this has been a post from Nykii Sherman and Tessa Zee (:
