See To Believe

Paros is such a beautiful spot.

i remember i had a moment of bliss a couple of weeks ago 

just cruising around the spot over sunset.

My God, it's pretty! 

So i took my GoPro out to let you see

what i see. 

Enjoy!

PS: this was a really windy day, i had to depower my 7m and was cruising fast. 

So, Ms. Anny Barlow decided to come this season to Paros too.

Paros by Night

Paros is lovely during the day 

and it's lovelier at night.

here are some snaps from a night out in Naoussa.

Naoussa is a small town here in Paros where all the restaurants and bars are located.

My greek friends told me that when Greece was having problems with piracy during the older days they came to Paros via the Naoussa port.

I also love going to Naoussa for the best Loucoumades in town, the best dessert in the world.

 

Naoussa is known for the Parties but Paros is known for the chill out and relaxed life

here is what i see outside our house.

I took this during a full moon night 

and also some long exposures when there was no moon and you can see all the stars

Paros mostly thrives from farming olives and other vegitation

so our house is situated in a farm area and light is very scarce at night so you can

see the gazillion stars in the sky.

Greece being relatively cloudless during summer gives you the most spectacular view of the night sky which is just breathtaking.

check out the pictures.

there is one picture where a plane passed by and it created a line in the sky. 

i find it funny.

thats all. 

cheers from windy, sunny and starry Greece X

Longest flight ever.

so, this is my first post after being "stuck" in my longest trip ever.

After leaving OBX, i had to go on a drive to Newark with the Tribu team in the USA, see how they are like, hang out a little and fly out to Athens through Newark as well.

the drive was ok but took longer than expected, there were some minor stops that i didn't get 

to do before boarding the plane. I got to NWR just in time for my 13 hour flight to Athens with a stop in London.

The heathrow airport became a pain in the ass as i needed to change terminals in like 30minutes, running like crazy from one end to the next to catch my flight connection. At this point i was already feeling Dizzy. I slept the entire time during this flight from the moment i sat down. I would wake up periodically to change positions and my head felt like a balloon. I asked for ibuprofen ( which i don't) usually do) from the flight attendant. and drank A LOT of water hoping to make me feel better but it didn't. I arrived the airport and thank god my greek kiter friends Aphrodite and mike is there ( who got injured a couple of days before i arrived.)

the drive to athens was the worst, the traffic was bad and yeah greek drivers are not really the calmest in the world, plus the weather was not really helping as well.

Coming out from Chilly San Francisco then OBX then the hot summer heat in Greece caused my nose to bleed and at this point i decided that i need to get to a hospital already.

The doctors had to put me on a CT scan and held me in the hospital for a while. This is not my first time in a greek hospital, infact its my 4th one if am not mistaken but its the first for this trip. I Love greek doctors, they are very caring and you can really see that they know what they are doing and saying, the nurses were nice but it didn't help that they cannot understand english so well.

Everything turned out well for me in the end and the CT scan is A ok :)

Now am sitting in Pounda beach, Paros Island my home spot here in Europe.
listening to some great house music from the radio and enjoying the strong meltemi wind <3
i also got my souvlaki fix already...yummmy

now am focused on recovering and eating a lot to gain some of my weight back.
ill be here for the next three months guys.\
do come and visit me if you have plans of coming to greece
or just simply if you wanna hang out with me.

Internet here is a bit slow so bear with me in updating my blog X

am still on a OBX hangover...missing everyone from there X

Ice Cream, Flowers and Kisses.

Probably the most simple and best birthday i had so far.

Been busy working but am not complaining, its really really good. Plus i get to be with some good friends and loved ones.

During my special 26th bday i had a welcome party at the house with all the ParosKite Crew over some tortellini, pita and retsina.

Plus of course a safety meeting. hehe

The party ended at 3am and i had to get up at 9 so i was a zombie at work during my bday.

As you can see in the picture above, am not really in my prettiest face Lol.

But hey the girls gave me a cake, a summerheart lolly and a nice gumamela flower.

I went kiting too with Anton and some of the crew. The day ended with a nice sunset over the Pounda Port.

Anton took me to AntiParos for a good stroll over Gyros, French Fries and Home Made Ice Cream <3

Ill post more pictures when i get some time.

Thanks for all the birthday greetings.

So nice to feel loved.
