There's a storm a coming

We got up this morning to winds and dark clouds. As we were getting breakfast the host tells us that all the ferries have been canceled. The winds are to high. The german guy has a flight to ketch tomorrow morning. Thankfully he was able to get a flight to Athens.
We went into town to the blue star ticket booth to get new tickets. The next ferry is at 7:30pm tomorrow evening. We won't get back to Athens till 530am and we have to be out of the apartment by 11 that same day. Here is hoping the run tomorrow.
From there we started to drive to the other end of the island to see the arcualogy Site and the red beach. Well we did it get out of town far when the winds were so hard the poor bike was maybe going 19 and it was a straight stretch. We were getting pelted by dirt so we decided to go back to town there was a very good chance that the first hill we would come to it would not be able to make it up.
So we went into town to watch the parade it was for this day that the Greeks won there freedom. It was people in traditional dress and kids from schools the little ones in there traditional dress were so cute.
From there we just wondered around town. No much to see since it is a holiday and very gloomy out.
We went to this restaurant because it had a sign for wine and homemade waffles. Well I ended up getting pork with honey and yogurt. It was so good. Very very good I am so full from it. The wine we got was very thick like serup and very sweet tasted like they were coming up the bitterness by just adding sweet syerp.
On our walk home because we had to return the 4wealer it started to rain big drops but not hard just a drop here and there.
We are back at the hostel thankful we can stay another night because hewas going to be full with people coming in on the ferry. But since non of them could come we are all alone here. Wish shauna played crib or backgammon.
