When we got to Santorini, we were surrounded by muted colors. Brown cliffs, hazy blue sea. Beautiful, in a calm way. As we explored the island further, we realized that there really were splashes of color everywhere. Red pebbles on the red beach. Whitewashed churches with gorgeous blue domes. Bright buildings every now and then that looked like they should be in Venice. And most amazingly, the incredible hues of the famous sunset. One evening, we scrambled over some rocks and found our way to the top of an isolated church - where we shared the sunset with a couple from Nice. The next evening, we joined the masses in Oia for a magical, if not peaceful, sunset. Really - people actually started clapping once the sun went down. All part of the touristy fun though :)
Soon our vacation will come to an end, and I am already starting to get a little sad about that. However, we have one last hurrah before we board the flight home. We are heading to Central Greece tomorrow to check out Delphi and Meteora. Meteroa, especially is supposed to be quite hot, but extremely pretty.

Your pictures of Santorini are spectacular!
Reminds me of Psalm 19:
The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they display knowledge.
There is no speech or language where their voice is not heard.
Their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world.
In the heavens he has pitched a tent for the sun, which is like a bridegroom coming forth from his pavilion, like a champion rejoicing to run his course...
Glad to see you guys are having fun out there. :)
