Patmos, Greece By Skylar

We are staying in a house in the Hora. (It is the top of the island.) It is beautiful! When you walk in, you walk into the kitchen. The next room in front of you is the living room. Then if you go back into the kitchen, there are stairs. You go up the stairs to the balcony with a table. Inside the blue doors are the three beds. One is a loft and below it is a single bed; one is a double bed. All of the houses in Patmos have blue doors and white stone walls. Our house was built in 1604!!!!!

One day my Mom found a way to the roof and we watched sunset. It was fun. We brought drinks and we made brownies that day so we had brownies too! The sunsets were beautiful! Another good place to watch sunsets is at the windmills. We go to the windmills and look over Patmos. It is very beautiful and windy.

Ireni Gouras is really nice. She is our landlord. She gave us 2 chocolate bars and invited us to her house for a sweet called Honey Dippers. Another day she gave us cherries. She is like a grandma. Two other friends on Patmos are Robert and Christopher. They are very nice and showed us a lot of good places to go on the island. Robert's sister works at my school so that's how we learned about Patmos.

Lampi Beach is my favorite beach on Patmos. It is full of beautiful rocks(see picture above). Some of them look like shiny marble. I saw so many colors: all different shades of blue, brown, green and more. It was fun to collect rocks and swim there.

I got leather sandals with flowers on them. They are pretty and so comfortable! I even got the next size bigger so I can wear them for longer. Even though I have to wait until next year to get my ears pierced (when I'm 10), I got gold hoop earrings. They are so pretty.

WHAT I DO IN PATMOS
I get up and get dressed. My mom and dad go for cappuccinos while Maya and I have breakfast. We either go to a beach and swim, go shopping, check email, get ice cream or take a car ride around Patmos. We come back for lunch, read, do stuff, have dinner and go to bed. Patmos is fun and beautiful.
