Fun Day

Mom and Meghan went to some Greek monument that Dad and I didn't really want to go to, so we had a free day ahead of us. Dad's plan was to swim at the beach in the morning, then go on a hike, and then swim at the other beach afterwards. I liked everything except for the hike. We would be walking uphill back to our apartment when we finished swimming both times, which is enough walking for me. So we ditched the hiking part, and started down the hill to the first beach that we had already been to before. 

It wasn't very fun. The water was so polluted, I could barely believe that people were swimming in it. We couldn't find an open space in the sun, because half of the tiny beach was sunny and half of it was in the shade. Everybody was crammed into the sunny space, so there was barely any room to walk by. Plus, it was high tide, so that made it even more cramped. Dad and I sat in the shade, and he went off to talk to the people who owned the place called Rent a Boat, because that's exactly what we wanted to do. After I he left I got freezing, so when he came back we went over to the tiny cement walking space where the boats pulled up. That was really uncomfortable, even though it was sunny. We left the beach after about two hours and stayed a little bit at the house. 

At 3:00 we left for the beach that we hadn't been to yet. It was nothing like I imagined. It wasn't really much like a beach, but it was awesome. It was like a deck made out of cement, with a restaurant and beach chairs that were all full. There were waitresses, and the water was really clear. There was a ladder down into the water. The only downside was that the water was super rough. There were sharp rocks near, and you had to jump out far if you wanted to jump at all. Loud (bad) music came out of speakers at the restaurant. Dad and I stayed for about three hours. It was nice, and Dad said that we might come back later, to see the sunset.
