I slept in until 8am, but still felt achy and coughy, so I decided to not work my volunteer shift. Instead, I rested at home and took care of a few things around the house. I didn’t hear much from Rob and the girls at Dragon*Con.

On our first full day in Santorini, the girls and I tackled the local bus system in order to make our way over to Oia, one of the “caldera” cities. Despite the heat, we had a wonderful time exploring all the windy streets. Our favorite discovrey was Atlantis Books! We also enjoyed a relaxing late

One of my “big” wishes – bucket list and all that – for our trip to Greece (other than Knosssos) was to get to Santorini. From all I had seen and heard, it is a magical place and not to be missed. After much juggling of our schedule, we managed to make a trip to
