Day something- something: Santorini

No lie, Santorini was an afterthought. We needed a place to go and after talking to a lot of people, we planned a trek to Santorini despite its reputation as a honeymoon hot spot. We had one day and we made it count. We rented a car and drove all around the island. Thank you to Dave and Anne Scott who taught Liz how to drive a stick. She is the [wo]man and chauffeured us around all day. 1^st stop was the black sand beach of Perissa. Black sand = really hot feet, but also really warm water. They way the mountain of rock stopped just in time to make a beach was like nothing I’ve ever seen before. And the sea bed was rock, not sand. After trying to tan the translucents like a local, we headed to Santo wines for wine tasting. In short, the wine was gross. Amazing view, but gross wine.

We made it to Oia just in time for sunset. It was immediately obvious that we should have stayed in the town instead of Fira, but hey whatcha gonna do? I think that pictures will do better justice than my words…
