Goodbye Santorini

Here is my last post from the Greek Islands....Tuesday morning at 1am I will be on a ferry back to Athens, then later in the day will hop a flight to Warsaw, Poland. This month that Ive spent here has been amazing. Ive had relaxing days, hectic days, good days & bad. Ive met dozens of amazing people; some that stay for a couple nights and others that have been here the entire time and will be here after I leave.

I went for an awesome daytrip around the island:climbed the volcano, swam in hot springs, had a fantastic lunch of octopus, swordfish, & lamb skewers, and watched the amazing sunset over Ioa. It also included a terrifying donkey ride, thanks to good old fashioned peer pressure. :)

I've spent countless hours on the beach and by the pool, working on my tan. My family would be surprised to hear that I have not burned, and that I'm actually pretty tan. I'm going to look super bronzed in all those awesome family pics we'll be taking when we're together in Munich.

I've also spent a lot of time on my 4-wheeler. Here on the island it is what everyone drives around. Its perfect to get you to the beach or through town. I loved it when it got me home in 2 minutes after working all night. It also took me to the bakery everyday for a small pizza (all dough) or a cheese pie. Damn you bakery...I've driven my 4-wheeler all around this island: Perissa, Fira, Oia, and everywhere inbetween. Its also thanks to my 4 wheeler that I had to wear the dorkiest helmet all around. Look closely, it has sharks on it. yeah, the jerk at the bike shop gave me a child's helmet with sharks on it. Thanks buddy.

Greece is the most amazing place ever. Tonight is my going-away party at the bar I worked at, and we're all going out for one last crazy night in Santorini before we all get back to traveling...
