A FUN SIGN PHOTO - Our friend Thaddeus is like family to us, and we were surprised to see a restaurant in Santorini with his surname. So, we took a goofy photo in front of the sign and sent it to him via social media. It was a nice reminder of home.
SUNSET WALK - The walk from the town of Fira to our hotel was about 40 minutes, all along the rim of the volcano that looked down into the ocean-filled caldera. Despite the heat at sunset (around 8pm) when the heat index was still around 90F/32.2C, we made the walk to watch the sun set. As you can see in our photo, the sunsets from Santorini were not clear- but fuzzy from all of the salt and aerosols in the air from the over-ocean winds.
A LIVING GREEK GOD JOGGING - As we walked to the hotel from the town of Fira, a muscular, shirtless, black-haired, brown-eyed Greek man jogged toward us. He could have been a Greek god. Suddenly we didn't mind the oppressive heat index! Then, he turned around, ran past us again, and then ran off on part of a hillside that jutted out and away from the sidewalk. As he came back toward us, I snapped a photo of his silhouette with the setting sun and orange sky.
