Everyone at festival baking is wearing these neck fans. So yesterday I decided to give them a try. There are 2 in the box for $30 at Costco. We have a lot of gnats right now, so no matter how early you get up to walk the dogs, once you start to sweat the gnats drive you crazy buzzing in your ear. I hate wearing bug repellant, so I thought these might help ~ and they do! There are 5 speeds on the fans, and are rechargeable. It also made the doggy walks more comfortable.
On to Santorini......
This is a cedar tree, or at least this is what our tour guide said. Now, it doesn't look anything like a cedar tree here. I was fascinated. I know, it's boring to others when you get excited about plants :-). I checked with copilot, and the AI says its more related to a Norfolk pine. Remember when those were popular as house plants? The seed/cone (whatever you call it) was pretty big, like almost softball size.
I love this photo. The black beaches were so pretty. I picked up some small rocks to paint when I returned home. One of our travelers had a gallon size bag of rocks and sand to take home! Crazy.
We were at Kamari. I could seriously live there. I couldn't afford it, but I would love it.
Yep, that's my spot.....
One free afternoon, some friends invited me to go with them to a wine tasting. I am not much of a wine person, but it was amazing. I haven't ever had white wine that I thought would be worth drinking, except at this place. This young lady was our guide. She was a little goofy, but fun.
The ubiquitous view at Oia. It is a beautiful place, but even when we were there it was crowded and busy.
This kitty posed for us while we were all snapping photos. Did I mention how many cats there are running around in Greece? They are everywhere!
This is the sunset we went to Oia to see. Beautiful. Of course there are many (many!) shops in Oia.
It was a beautiful evening. This was one of the few nights we didn't eat Greek food ~ everyone was in the mood for pizza and beer.
This church and plaza around it was our meet up place before leaving.
It was a beautiful place ~ a shoppers paradise!
Have a great week!
Love, 365
The tree resembles what we call a Monkey Puzzle tree. There's one growing next door. The neighbor who used to live there was so proud of that tree, there apparently aren't many around. Your trip looks like it was amazing. I'm not a traveler, but if I were, I would want to see Greece. Always thought it looked like such a beautiful place. Fell in love with it even more after seeing Mama Mia.
