Heaven on Earth

I wish I could show you what I've seen thus far over a blog post, but descriptions and pictures cannot do it justice. No worries - I will at least attempt. I think my jet lag is still hanging around, because my sleep schedule is off. We finally made it to bed around three last night, and yet it's only 6:30, and here I am awake. The only reason why I am perfectly OK with this right now is because I'm sitting out on the balcony with the view of the Mediterranean on one side, and the mountains on the other. There are palm trees lining the middle of the street, birds announcing the start of the day, and a Yia Yia watering her plants down below. The sun is starting to shine over the tips of the mountains, and to top it all off, I'm here with some of my favorite people. This has to be an earthly version of heaven.

 I had originally planned to post often, but my internet and writing time is limited, and I am completely content with that. I never thought I would say this, but aside from not being able to call my mama any time I'd like, I am actually enjoying not having a cell phone. Once I get over the weird feeling of wanting to check it but not being able to, it's enjoyable to be less available. I will resume back to normalcy as soon as I'm back in New York, but for the time being, I need to just let myself enjoy where I am right now. So check in every so often, as I'll be doing the same. My whines will be traded in for wishing, my gin and tonics for mojitos, and my work clothes for swim suits. It must be summer vacation.
