Santorini!

Yes it really is that amazing. I arrived this afternoon and the husband of the owner came to get me from the port in their Hotel Leta van. The new port is farther than I had expected and I am glad that transportation was included. I arrived at my room which is simple and clean...rested for a few hours and then headed out to the city around 5p. We are situated about on the end of town but the cliffs are only three or four streets in, so maybe a ten minute walk. In Isla Vista speak it would be like living near SOS market. I walked up and down cobble stoned streets and took a few pictures, went to the convention center to check out an exhibit of minoan artwork, bought my ticket for a tour tomorrow!!! yay going to see the Volcano up close, the island of Thirasa and then for sunset to Oia. I met a New Yorker who said that that beach is wonderful and then started complaining about not having spent enought time there...I love New York! I even checked out the local posh hotel with a lounge to see if I could picture myself there...maybe but there are some other really great cafe's on the cliffs that I might do first. There are a lot of people around taking pictures...it is high tourist season and I am embracing it all...english is spoken about everywhere so haven't gotten lost:) This is a great place to end my Greek Island adventure and now I am going to have some dinner and maybe get a book
Love ya
