No, folks, I'm not talking politics this time. Yes, the new mayor and city council convened on Sunday to chose the island's operating officers but there was no lightening or thunder there. Or so I understand. Here are the grim faces of the leaders of Mykonos as they sat around the council table at their opening session.

And here is is the scene I confronted when walking out of an appointment I had yesterday at the island's soccer stadium.
Sadly, the promise was not fulfilled with rain. At least not where it mattered for drought parched Mykonos. Though it did give rise to some great photos at many spots around the island.

But there was a silver lining. We headed off to a beach for lunch in a place that afforded cover should the skies actually deliver. Not sure if you're familiar with Jackie O's on Mykonos, but in addition to it's legendary club in town, Jackie O's has a beautiful restaurant-beach club-bar perched on a rise above Super Paradise.

It also boasts one of chicest accessories shops on the island, and what to my wondering eyes should appear when I walked inside but this display of the only books Jackie O's sells! Friends are nice to have, thank you.
For those of you wondering what books they are...duh...they feature my Greek publisher's covers for my books.
So far, it's been a good week. Puh, puh, puh
