Santorini

Before I left, Dr. Chamberlain told me that no matter how beautiful the pictures of Santorini are, it is impossible to capture the beauty. You are right, Dr. C!

Students, I am not sure if I gave you the latitude and longitude coordinates of Santorini. If I didn't, please find them on a map and let me know!

I walked through lovely villages; the sidewalks are narrow with houses on both sides. The villages have no streets--just the sidewalks that were very steep. In one village, Nicholaus (our guide) told us stories of village life. There is no water; it has to brought up from below. The people of the village walk daily to the mini-market to buy their food for the day along with a bottle of water. He said one woman is 96--and still makes the daily walk. They only buy enough food to eat; they do not buy enough to have any leftovers. I walked through the mini-market. There were good looking fresh fruits and vegetables and a variety of cheeses. Of course, there is delicious-looking bread everywhere we go.

Adio!
