Friday 23 September 2011
We gathered up our towels and drove down to the beach where we swam (David 1200 strokes) and had a nice relaxing couple of hours in the sun. Since we were hungry, we stopped to get kebab sticks, then headed up to a famous Ikarian church built out of two enormous boulders.
The place was empty, but had a peaceful feeling. We had to stoop to get through the cave-like entrance to the interior where the Byzantine artwork was surprisingly lustrous. Much of the surrounding area was dense pine, which reminded us of the high volume of rainfall and natural water on Ikaria.

We headed home where Dian finished reading
Siddartha, Nicole watered the plants, and Charles gazed at his Communist artifacts.
