Pictures from My first two days in Santorini (and a picture of the Istanbul Spice Bazaar for my sister)














Hello all again:

I have now been able to get onto my hotel's wireless Internet connection. Attached are some pictures of my first full day in Santorini. Everything that I have ever read or been told does not come close to describing the beauty of this island. The sea and the sky are that blue! It is almost fake.

On the food front. I love grilled octopus. I have go to find some when I get home, and cook it over an open pit. It is delicious! That and feta cheese stuffed red peppers. I could eat my weight in those. Also, there is an Italian Gelato stand here in Fira, where I am staying. It was good thing I walked all of those calories off in Istanbul. I am going to put some of them back on in Greece. :-)

Guess I need to get my sh*t together and finish editing my Greece photos! Enjoying the play by play.

P.S. Like the Spice Bazaar. It reminds of the crowded stalls at the market in Romania. Miss that place too. All this makes me need a job where exotic travel, language and art are combined. I could live happy.

Scot, I love the pictures so much. I wish SO BADLY that I was there instead of sitting here in my office. The sky is unbelievable. Keepo up the blogs. I am living vicariously through you!

Hugs to you!
