We stayed on the northern most tip of the island in the village of Oia. Oia is the source for many calendar and postcard photos of the Greek Islands and was nothing shy of spectacular. Home base for us this week was a cave house built around 1400 and renovated with plumbing and electricity in 1990. The stunning view from our balcony begged for us to sit each afternoon, enjoy a glass of wine, and watch the boats sail by. This leg of the trip was much more laid back than Turkey – we hit a couple beaches, drove around the island, listened to some live music but for the most part simply relaxed and enjoyed the perfect, humidity free, sunny and 85 degree weather.

Is that a glass of ouzo in your hand? This is exactly the photo you told me you were planning to take: you, kicking back with a glass of wine in Santorini. Okay, so we're moving there now. Did you get to ride the scooters, and are there really legendary cats of Santorini?! (I remember a wall calendar called "The cats of Santorini" a long time ago from my Tower Books days.)
