It is hard to stop myself from taking lots of
photos of the churches and shrines. First, there are so many of them.

The village of Oia, on the northern tip of
the island, turns out to be the most photogenic. I didn't believe the
guidebook, but it told me that this was the most photographed place on
the island.

There is evidence of the volcanic history of
Santorini just about everywhere. Here you get a good look at the red
volcanic rocks that show up in later pictures as just a texture.

 |
We don't spend much time at
any of the beaches since it is too cold for swimming, but the water
still looks inviting. Most of the time, we are in the villages high up
on the cliffs.

 |
Even utility sheds here are decorated better
than my house.
|
 |
The wear and tear of sea weather must be a
hassle for people living here, but it sure looks lovely when you don't
have to do the painting.
|
 |
Every once in awhile, you need a nice new
photo for your desktop.

 |
Here is the village of Oia as we sail by on
the ferry. We hope for a nice uneventful ride back to Athens, unlike our
ride coming here.
