Opah! We made it safely to Greece where we met up with John and Faith (Matt's parents) and flew to the beautiful island of Santorini. We awoke to a gorgeous sunny day and had breakfast on the hillside terrace over looking "the caldera cliff." We are staying at a very cool hotel in rooms that are like house-caves dug into the side of the hillside. The walls are refreshingly white, domed, and let in the stark morning light. These ancient houses were once home to Greek sailors, while the hilltop villas housed wealthy merchants of the island across a marble road.
We spent the day trekking through the dry terrain of the hilltop, searching for the town of Thira (Fira) and a recommended taverna called "Nicolos." We managed to find Nicolas and his taverna, but not before sunburned faces, sore feet and hungry bellies. We hiked up five miles over steep terrain and daisy fields. John led us into many "paths less traveled" to get there.
We are warm and cozy in our adjoining little cave homes and are looking forward to three more days in this magnificent place.
More to come...
Teri & Matt
