Day 17-We Needed More Time Here

Today was the much anticipated trip to Santorini.  The land of hills with little white buildings with blue roofs.  The ferry ride to Santorini was rather rocky.  And as a tiny person, lets just say I was thrown about a bit.

Here are some obligatory 'It's windy and we're on a boat!' pictures.
Aww, a boat!


Our bus ride to the beach took almost 40 minutes, which cut into the day a lot.  I did see this on the bus however, and it made me happy.


AND! The guy sitting behind me on the bus was singing the entire time!! In English and in Greek! It was hilarious.  We stopped at some beach and had lunch.

My Lunch, and Yes That Shrimp Did Come With It's Face
By the time we finished lunch we only had about 40 minutes at the beach before we had to get back to the port to catch the ferry.

When we arrived back in Crete we grabbed some gyros and headed back to the rooms.

Later that night I was having a cigarette on our balcony.  There were about thirty Greek men playing futbol in a parking lot below.  Men kept driving up on motorcycles and joining in the game.  A group standing on the sidewalk watching the match started lighting off homemade fireworks.  AND THEN!!  This hella drunk Greek starts running up some nearby stairs.  As he is running he starts throwing Molotov cocktails, in the direction that he's running!  He produced five cocktails that were lit from somewhere on his person.

That alone made my vacation.
