Greece

Well, my life is now complete...I rode a smelly donkey to the top of Santorini. Wow, what a gorgeous place to visit. We saw so many amazing things that made me inspired by the ingenuity of the human race to create beautiful things and practical things they needed to make life easier. I loved seeing art that was created thousands of years ago. No offense, but it sure makes abstract art look like a cop-out!

Things I learned:
1. The pronunciation of the Greek alphabet you learn in college is, well, not even close. I don't think it really mattered though because I know now what "It's all Greek to me" truly means.
2. Hummus is, in fact, not Greek.
3. Sun dried octopus is so yummy...kidding, didn't try it (I'm not that brave!)
4. Jet lag is the worst part of any trip.
5. I can tread water in the ocean indefinitely.

Greece is an amazing place that has been on my bucket list and I am so glad that I was able to experience it with my husband and friends.

 A lot of the sidewalks are these cool mosaics with different patters...really cool to look at but a little tricky to walk on if you are clumsy like me.
 My favorite place we visited..Oai on Santorini

This is a shot of the island called Milos. It was so cool we snorkeled and boated through the caves. It was like snorkeling through a meteor field because there were floating pumice rocks all around.
