Today we toured the island of Hydra and conducted an interview with a local. Of the islands we’ve visited, Hydra was my favorite. It has a pleasant combination of scenery with plenty of activities to do close to the port. The architecture of the houses and fortifications also appealled to me. For my interview I talked to one of the guides for our donkey tour. Her English was not very good, but we were able to communicate basic concepts about the use of donkeys for tours instead of motorized vehicles. In my interview paper I filled in the blanks from our conversation with observations I had while riding around, and from exploring the town afterward. The day as a whole was among my favorite of the trip. I learned a lot and had a good time with my classmates.
