A marathon of traveling to get home, that is.
But first, a bit about our stay on Santorini. Uh, it's been amazing! We saw a movie at an outdoor theatre, which was a sweet experience. Transformers 3 = bad. Location = good. We did a day tour of the whole island, and saw a traditional village, the volcano, hiked up a few hundred steps for kebabs, TOOK A DONKEY RIDE!!!, and watched the sunset from Oia. (Can we say that prairie sunsets might be better?) It was a busy but fun day. We rented a quad one day, and buzzed about the island on that. We went to black sand beaches and swam in the crystal clear blue ocean. We had indian curry one night, which was amazing! We're looking forward to making/eating curry when we get back home! And last but not least, we went snorkeling yesterday! An absolutely incredible experience, swimming among some reefs and seeing lots of fishes swimming by. Really amazing. Until we got back to the hotel and realized that our legs where so red and burned that we could've cooked kebabs on them. (At least mine [Brad] were).
A lot of cool stuff, not much time to write about it, as the internet is running out here. This just might be our last post before we get back to Canada. So, please pray for us as we travel. Today, a ferry back to the mainland port of Pireuas, tomorrow, a train to Thessaloniki (that we still need to get tickets for), the next day, a flight from Thessaloniki to London, where we are briefly meeting some friends, and then on Thursday, a flight from London Gatwick to Calgary!
So, it'll be busy, but we are definitely excited about coming home.
We are dreaming about good food, and Starbucks.
We'll see you all soon,
Brad and Char
