Hydra Island

So in my college days, money was pretty tight.  We wanted to go to a Greek island and therefore we chose the one which was the closest to Athens and which costs the least amount of money to get to on the ferry.  The island was Hydra.  It had wonderful beaches, restaurants and there were absolutely no cars.  The only means of transportation were boats, feet, and donkeys.One night we became lost on the winding cobble stone streets in the total darkness, hearing the sounds of donkeys but not being able to see them. I had totally fallen in love with Greece after only a few days in the country.  I sensed my boyfriend didn't feel the same way and I vowed to come back someday with someone who would appreciate it the way I did. At that time I had no idea why I felt such a connection to Greece. But I loved the sky and the water and the people.
