I’ve never been to Antarctica, but there’s a part of that continent which is supposedly the windiest place on earth. I have been to Chicago, and that wasn’t as windy as it was made out to be. Then there’s Wellington, New Zealand, which can take your darn hat off.

But Mykonos must hold a flame to all of these. That’s why the Venetians built all the windmills they did along the north coast. I made some drawings when I was there and the sunshine together with the gale force winds helped my watercolour dry almost instantaneously.
