My mom's class goes sailing for an assignment (how cool is that?!), and my dad and I got to tag along! Greece has around 6,000 islands, 200+ of which are inhabited, so being on the water is an important part of the Greek culture. The sailor man looked exactly like what you would imagine a Greek sailor would look like - brown leathery skin, squinty eyes, cigarette in hand. He let me steer the boat around the bay while he was adjusting the sails! Also on the voyage, Daddy and I jumped in the Aegean Sea! We brought our snorkels and flippers, so we set out to look at fish in the clear waters. We saw so many fish - I wish I had a picture! One of those underwater cameras would have come in handy! Hint hint, Mom and Dad!
Usually, I see the boats on the water when I'm on land, but this time I got to look at the town from the water. The view from our town from the water was different than I'm used to, reminding me the importance of purposefully looking at things through a different lens every now and then.
