Mykonos would be nothing without Petros the Pelican, a gift of Jackie O in the 1960s (She actually sent over a pair, but Irini didn't draw the print coverage of her mate.). A Petros still walks the streets of Mykonos...though no one (now) claims it's the original Petros. <br /><br />What's not been revealed publicly until this very moment--other than by old Mykonians telling (spinning?) the tale in tavernas over tsipoura--is the truth about the first Petros and Irini. Allegedly, Jackie's gracious gift arrived from a far off land via air freight in an unpressurized cabin. The two poor pelicans got off the plane as buzzed as the heaviest all-night, think they can fly, partiers on the island. Trouble was, the two with actual wings never sobered up. <br /><br />No one wanted to pass on the sad news to Jackie, so instead the Mykonians brought in two stand-ins and the legend took off from there. <br /><br />Let's keep that just between us, OK? And for sure don't tell Everett.Jeffrey Sigerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00718317707555064653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990338437877873686.post-84996384025631102662013-10-25T11:05:14.265-04:002013-10-25T11:05:14.265-04:00Hilarious, Caro!
