Day 5 (Mykonos)
Today we boarded our cruise ship and headed towards the island of Mykonos. Once there we toured the island, got to see the picturesque Greek coast town. The white houses, the city by the water, streetways, and all the food places/shops. Got to go to this absolutely amazing crepe shop and got a nutella, strawberry, and banana crepe, so delicious. Afterwards a group of us watched the sun set from an outcropping of rocks near the windmills. Such a beautiful sight.
Now being on that island and witnessing that sunset was just spectacular. A sunset is a sunset, but out there on the rocks away from the lights of urban civilization; it was just that much more beautiful. Something as simple as the setting of the sun that we often overlook in our daily lives can be just amazing when given the time to sit back and enjoy the sight. Just goes back to the my earlier point in standing back and living in the present is something that humankind in this era has so easily forgotten. Always thinking of the past and the future, we rarely think of the present just brushing it aside as a formality when in reality it is the most important thing in our lives. What we do now is what affects our future, and is what we look back to in the past. Such a duh understanding but seems the easiest things in life are always overlooked. But it was that sunset that made me realize that fully and even now I plan to hopefully to apply that lesson in my daily life now and the days to come.
