Santorini

We have finally made it to santorini! This place is really incredible. Make sure to look through the photo album on facebook to check out all the pics.  Tomorrow we are taking a ferry ride out to a volcano that erupted like 4000 years ago that apparently changed the shape of Europe, pretty interesting. Then we will go swimming in the volcanic hotsprings. after the hotsprings the ferry ride takes us to the northern tip of the island where we will be able to see an incredible sunset (apparently). I seriously love this place, definitely more than athens and I think more than any other European destination I have been thus far.  this city in on a hill in the middle of the island with a ton of little shops and restaurants. It seems like everywhere you turn there is another picture to be taken.  We took a plane over here from athens, about a 30 minute flight--which seemed like 30 seconds compared to the 9.5 hr flight we took from philly. Yesterday we went to Delphi, which was the site of the oracle for the greeks during the 450s bc. It was absolutely incredible to see the ruins and touch the stone.  again, look in the fb album for all the pics of delphi! Traveling has been a ton of fun and an absolute blessing. I am definitely missing home but this is an experience of a lifetime!
