Greece! - Gythio

Gythio was the next stop on our journey and one that was familiar to all but the girls and I. It is a short distance from the village where Yia Yia grew up and one they have visited often. It was here that Sophia ate her first Octopus. For real. She did. I know! Oh and fish with the heads (& eyes) still on! Evi stuck to noodles but it was certainly a turning point for Soph.
We also swam at the beach and pool at the hotel as many hours as the day would allow. Gythio was also the site of Soph's first independent swim!!! She is now able to swim underwater without floaties for a good 4-5 feet unassisted. It was pretty exciting. We also celebrated her 4th birthday with an amazing dinner along with family and a cake topped with the biggest candle imaginable! I'm pretty sure it was actually a roman candle.
As you can see, Prince Eric came along for the trip and often accompanied us to the beach. No worries on his nudity...it's Europe and totally normal. I also had to include a picture of the wine. Yes, that is wine. Packaged in a water bottle. tee hee hee.
