Day 6: Cruising into Mykonos

Pilgrimages make demands of each person: engagement, focus, physical exertion, mental and spiritual energy. Today’s pilgrimage destination demanded rest. We embarked on our Aegean Sea cruise at 11:30 and pulled out of the port near Athens at 1pm with Mykonos as our first port of call. 

The four hours aboard ship were unstructured so many of us took naps or sat on the deck and soaked in the soft Mediterranean sun. 

Once we docked in Mykonos we disembarked and  walked through the maze like streets on the town. The Mykonosians intentionally desired their streets in a labyrinth layout in hopes of deterring pirates from constantly pillaging their cities. 

Today was a nice rest day.

Tomorrow, Day 7: Mary’s House, Ephesus, Patmos
