Santorini: Imagine your best, most serene, romantic, beautiful, magical dream, that is how I can best define Santorini. It is peaceful, kind,warm, relaxed, soothing and fun.

We decided to stay only in Santorini (no other island) so we will be here a total of about six nights! And honestly it is a total vacation, we do no sightseeing, train catching, plane missing, luggage lugging. Our days consist of getting up, reading by the pool for an hour or so, swimming, ridding our 4 wheeler into town, eating, hitting up the islands different beaches and watching the most beautiful sunsets over Santorini wine in the most beautiful place in the world. I have never been more content in my life. We are both so grateful for this experience and it can't even be expressed how much we have been learning and how much our lives have been enriched.

Oh P.S. we love the Greeks. The culture, food, and their genuine spirit has made this an even more wonderful vacation. Some of my favorite things we have done so far here.

1. Paddle ball. Competitive all out diving into the sand games.

2. Gyros ('nough said.)

3. My morning nutella crepes.

4. Reading and finishing books every other day.

5.George; hostel owner we called at 7am and woke up and picked us up at the airport & Jerry (breakfast joint owner)

6. The buildings.

7. My tan.

8. Nick still not having a tan.

9. Having nothing to do!!
