Paros

Hey everyone,

We are safely in Paros. We took a high speed ferry over yesterday afternoon. When we arrived, we immediately went to check in to our hotel. Definitely not our favorite of the trip so far, but the owner is a cute old man so that makes it a little more bearable. We took a bus to Naoussa, a small fishing village, yesterday and saw on old Ventian fortress there. We met some New Zealand friends who were traveling as well and talked to them for a bit. After that we had dinner at a restaurant called Barberossa's. My lobster and shrimp ravioli was my favorite dish so far! Kelly had the grilled calamari with cheese and basil, which I thought was good as well but she wasn't a huge fan. The restaurant was ery nice, and we have now decided to scale down the dinners and go for large breakfast and late lunches to save on the dinner prices here! We just ate some gyros this afternoon while walking the streets of Parikia and they were fantasitic and so cheap! (well if 3 US dollars is cheap :)) We went to Andiparos this morning and saw the caves, which were spectacular. Truly there is no way to describe it, they are beautiful. We have one more night here in Paros so we are going to take the bus to Lefkas this afternoon, which was their original capital and we're told has a very historic feel. Tomorrow morning we head to Santorini. I'm super excited since everyone keeps saying it is amazing there!
