Flashback Friday | Santorini

Continuing with the story of how we met… Five days later, Paul and I decided to go on a photo department group outing in Greece. The ship anchored, so we all gathered and took a tender to the pier. The village of Santorini sits majestically atop a mountain, like a heavenly ivory palace. It is a breathtaking sight to behold! There are only three travel options from the pier: donkey, gondola or a climb up the steep, cobbled hill. We chose the donkey ride!

I was petrified and scraped up a good portion of my leg (thank you, Mr. Donkey), but it was well worth the adventure. Once atop the hill, we strolled through the narrow streets of Santorini. We found an obscure restaurant with a lovely veranda high above town to sample the fare. We sipped on authentic frappes, and wolfed down a delicious entree of chicken, potatoes, fresh tomatoes, and Greek salad. Yummy! The food, just like the backdrop, was gorgeous. We even tried the octopus! That day, Paul and I realized that we both do not know how to cut food properly. It was love at first bite (wocka wocka wocka). We knew it was the beginning of a beautiful relationship.
