Dropped Macintosh

Accommodations:  All the saving up has paid off.  We have stayed in 2 absolutely beautiful hotels on this greek island, Santorini.  By calling the day you need a hotel room, it seems that hotels are willing to meet your budget!  Woohoo!  Luxury at a somewhat affordable price!  The beautiful little hot tub on our balcony that overlooked the sea was too cool.
Food Highlights:  Lots of feta cheese.  We are in Greece after all. 
Adventure:  This island is an active volcano and our room is 900 feet above the sea on a cliff that was created when a volcanic eruption blew the island up 3600 years ago.
Rest: Lots of rest.  We are perched so high above the water that we will have to make a big effort to get down to the sea for some fun.  Maybe today....
Humor: 2 funny things:  1)  After a very serious conversation, Wayne ended the conversation with, 'Are we cool?  I'm cool.  Are you cool?'  (Guys...this might not be the best thing to say).   2)  Kelley was drinking the tap water here and kept saying it tasted like it had alot of minerals in it....then we read the sign that said 'Don't drink the water on the island due to high lime content.'  We'll see if there are any after effects of too much lime.

Well.....bad news.  We dropped the laptop and it won't turn on.  We are pretty bummed.  Here's a link to show you what it looks like here.....  Santorini Pics
The hotel has a computer that we are using now, and we don't know if we'll have access to a computer in the future.  We don't know how much blogging we can do this last week of the trip but we will try!

Great news....We are having a GREAT time in the Greek Islands.  Check out more info about Santorini.  We have been lounging around for 2 days.  We've been watching donkeys carry tourists from the cruise ships up and down the 900 foot cliffs.  Kelley is considering a $5 ride just for fun.  Wayne is not interested.  : )   Today we'll take a boat out to go snorkeling and sightseeing closer to the center of the volcano.  (Don't worry, there's no lava).  We will leave tomorrow for Paros island and we think we might stay there for 2 days.  Then to Mykonos island for a night before we catch a flight back to London. 

We love ya'll.  Sad that we only have 9 days left.  Soaking up every minute here.....
