Santorini Part 1

We flew to Santorini

the day after school got out!

This was home for a week!

We rented one of the cave houses

set on the cliff over looking 

the beautiful Aegean Sea 

and the caldera..

(a caldera is a crater formed

from a volcano)

(a view from our front porch)

We stayed in Oia.

(pronounced eea)

I think we visited at the perfect time.

It was not too hot

and not too crowded!

Probably my favorite time

of day here!

Just before sunset..

and WOW!

The famous Oia sunset...

More of that to come...

When I think of Oia,

I think of these winding, hilly

footpaths lined with shops 

and  yummy restaurants...

I think of these cliffs

and the amazing cave homes

built in them..

(this one taken from the

catamaran we were on.

more on that later!)

(also taken from the catamaran.)

If you look closely you can see

the mobs of people lining up

to watch the sunset.

Oia up top..

Amoudi Bay down below..

When I think of Oia,

I think of the wonderful people 

and the food!

One night we ate 

down in Amoudi Bay

at the Sunset Tarvern.

Delicious seafood

while watching the sunset!

More tomorrow!!
