hike on satorini

shalley and dina pausing to see what cave alex and I crawled out of.

we had an amazing sunny day, and we hiked about 6 miles along this edge.

this island is actually the volcano's crater

imerovigli, another small village between fira and oia

dina leaving us in the dust, as I stop to take yet another picture...

dina pausing to take in the view. we still had to drop down, and then hike the hill on the top left.

follow the sign right? actually, we asked a few locals about the trail, and not everyone was clued in to the beautiful trail in their backyard. they thought it would take too long, "there's a bus that goes too," they said.

as we hiked into oia, there were lots of fields for farming.

I couldn't believe the crowds watching the sunset in oia.

everyone was taking pics of the sunset, I had to take a few shots of the crowds!

we were aiming to join the group on the top left, but ran into oh, a few hundred people blocking the way.

dina happy to be in greece!

caves and spirits

oia cave hotel

I had a dream of an old man reaching out and touching me and then I woke up. Alex says he had dreams of spirits in robes coming through the window in his room.

momma loves you babies! momma is seated to the left of alex.

oia photography session

santorini is the most photographed island in greece. and for good reason, with the amazing cliff dwellings turned cave hotels and all the little nooks and crannys to explore.
