G is for Greece

 

Greece has always been on my bucket list . . .especially Santorini! I've always loved seeing those pictures of the white houses with a blue roof atop each one with the water glittering in the background. Greece was so much more than I anticipated.

The U.S. is such a newbie compared to the history in other countries.

Mark and Duane have been in a weekly Bible Study together
since 2000 - 25 years of study together makes
for a good and trusted friend. We have been
in a supper club together for many years.
Good friends.

The port was lovely in the moonlight.

Here are some of those iconic buildings on Santorini.

Mark and my friend (and co-worker) Laura took

a taxi to the other side of Santorini which

is where all of the white houses/blue roofs

are located.

It had been a rough night on the ship and we

were getting ready to board a sailboat

and I wanted to walk around on

my two feet.

I was so glad they took photos.

We did board a sailboat. I love this picture of Mark!

The scenery was beautiful. Look at that blue water and blue sky!

You an see those waves (below) - they were HUGE at times.

While Mark and Laura were on the other side of the island, Lu, Dave and I were walking

around. We went in this lovely church and after I took the photo, I saw the sign . . .

no photos.

This was our view of Santorini. We woke up and opened the curtains to look outside and I asked Mark if there was snow on that mountain. He said, "look again. It isn't snow." I had no idea that Santorini was up so high!!

I would go back to Greece again. There was so much to see and do.

Have you ever been to Greece?

What was your favorite part?
