Mykonos

The island of Mykonos is known as a party island. And it's a place where celebrities like to hang out. So you can tell immediately that I'll stick out like a sore thumb.


Lino, the non-partying, non-celebrity in Mykonos

I bought new sunglasses to try and look more hip. Unfortunately, they just made me look like a bug.

And there isn't anything in particular to see in Mykonos. It's just really beautiful, as these pictures will hopefully demonstrate?







This last image was the balcony of my hotel room. You'll notice that there are two chairs there. I guess the hotel staff just wanted to rub it in that I was han solo on this trip...
And you see lots of really happy couples all over the island. They, too, I guess were just trying to rub it in.

So let me take this time to remind you there are 4 vocations in the faith: Priest, religious (monk/sister), married, or single. I happen to be in a state we call the "single" state. Population, obviously, 1.

But it's important for everyone - married, single, religious, or priest - to realize that we each have a vocation. One is not better than the other.

We're supposed to ask God what He wants us to do with our lives. And how we're supposed to live out our lives.

As for me, I'm certainly not complaining about being single...and I ended up meeting Gabriella on my 2nd day there.
Thank you, Lord!



God works in mysterious ways. And hanging out with an Italian woman in Mykonos wasn't all bad.
But don't start with the hate mail...I'm just saying it's nice to make new friends.
