Cruising through Greece!

Okay, so I don't have much time but I have to give a little update of where I am. Right now we are in Rhodes, Greece-one of the islands in the Mediteranean. It's a fantastic island-beautiful beyond words-with a very interesting history. There are two parts to it-old and new city. The old city is medieval with walls and large ditches where motes used to be. Most of it is still intact so you can see the levels of defense they had to protect themselves from the Turkish invasions. There are several forts, outer walls, inner walls, cannons, guard towers and all kinds of stuff. I definitely wouldn't want to try to invade. From what I understand, the city was basically always at war-someone was always trying to get this land and I can see why. It's a beautiful island. The new part of the city is really pretty and it seems like people here have a lot of money-nice buildings, nice cars, nice shops, etc...
We spent the morning on the island seeing all the tourist sights and then the afternoon has been spent hanging out on a gorgeous beach. The water is so blue and clear that you can see everything and it is the perfect temperature as well. I couldn't imagine a more ideal day, it's been wonderful. In fact, the whole cruise thus far has been that way. I am not sure how I could have lived this long without going on a cruise, it is SO fun. The ship is beautiful and the weather has just been unbelievable. We've spent every day hanging out by the pool and eating every hour. It's heaven.
Yesterday we got to see a great little island called Mykonos-exactly what I picture when I think of Greece. All the buildings and churches are white with blue trim and all the locals just hang out all day. They were all so happy and relaxed and they live in the most beautiful place ever-maybe they know something I don't?
All I know is that I love life right now. Every day I get up and go to the top deck so I can see the sun rise, explore a great new place, hang out by the pool/beach, and then get dressed up for a four hour dinner in the dining room. Then I retire to my room where the bed has been turned down for me and when I wake up in the morning we are somewhere else so I get up and do it again. No wonder cruising is addicting!
Tomorrow we go to Santorini, another Greek Island and then to Athens and on to Turkey from there. There are several waiters on the ship from Turkey and Greece so I am trying to learn as much as I can from them about their countries and their experiences. So much to see and so much to learn, I am just trying to soak it all in.
Anyway, I'll post more in a few days after we've seen a few more ports. Everyone needs to come to Greece though, it's not possible to be in a bad mood while you're here, it's just too beautiful.
