Cruisin

Hey! I just got back from a really long day of touring Santorini. We took a sail boat using the motor from the new port to the old port to pick up some more cruisers and then went to the Volcano which was pretty dusty and hot. Go figure. After that we took a quick dip at a warm spring and headed to the island of Thirasa for some lunch. I ate with a greek family that I met on board, they are wonderful! Then we went to Oia for the last four hours of the trip. That part actually seemed unorganized because our guide said go watch the sunset and then get the bus at 8:30 so after four hours in Oia I am happy to get back to putting my feel up with the air conditioner on. Oia is a beautiful town but it is all pretty rough on the feet and after 6 hours of adventure it can be almost too much. I am meeting up with my greek friends tomorrow to ride the cable car down to the old port and maybe coming back up by donkey. Today I went up to to Oia by donkey but I was kinda nervous about this one. They were walking by themselves and mine kept getting distracted and then swerving to keep the other donkeys behind. Then he would try to cut in on the donkey in front...I was waiting for the swift kick but it didn't happen. When we were supposed to dismount I got pretty much yanked off by our donkey 'guide' after I tried to get off to the left instead of the right. ugh I didn't know there was etiquite. Anyway I got a laugh from him.
Oh and the greek family directed me toward the good food...so much better:)
talk to you soon
love
