Once upon a time a volcano exploded and made Santorini island, a tourist haven. I can see why this place is so touristy.. its gorgeous, but im over it. Its no place for a travelor on a budget. We have been enjoying the "Caldera View" for almost five days now, and have stayed on both sides of the island.All the islands except this one had cats everywhere, like they were producing them. Santorini has dogs... all along the walls, following people, walking on top of buildings...etc.
So Halloween is just around the corner and it still feels like summer here :) but I am bummed, becuase Greece does not celebrate it like we do. Let us know what you all are doing for it, we are curious. I would like to know what some of you are dressing your young ones up as... Lindsey....Nicole...Steve.
We leave for Crete at 3am (the cheapest ticket we could find), so we didnt see the point in getting a room for the night. The Siesta is from three to six then the shops, restaurants and everything else opens up again and the city stays up till dawn. K talk to ya soon, and leave some comments!!

We were getting worried. glad to finally hear from you . As you say, it looks gorgeous over there .Dyna is going to be a witch for Halloween. I'll get out my shrunken head and scare the neighborhood. We have cornstocks and pumpkins on the front porch and a big lighted jack-o-lantern on the patio.Love to you both. Grandma and Grandpa
So you are off to the childhood home of Zeus as well as Nikos Kazandjakis the author of Zorba the Greek. Even Jennifer Aniston has ancestory in Crete. So enough of the trivia. Hope your travels were enjoyable. With all the clear blue water has you been doing any diving? Cold and clear here. Love Mom and Dad
We have guest staying that are here for the Mt. Rainier Senic Railroad "Spook Train". Shelby, you would love it. Very scary, but too spendy for us, $25 a head. I remember your story about the haunted house you went to in San Diego.
Crete is going to be awsome. St. Paul spent some time there as a missionary after a ship wreck.
Great blogging, keep it up!
Aunt, Kim
Shelby and Dawson,
I really enjoy reading the great stories of Greece and looking at the beautiful pictures. I am looking forward to hearing about Crete. Uncle Richard has been there and really enjoyed it. I am dressing up as the mad scientist in "Back to the Future" for Halloween. My white hair will work well.
Dad
Bring me home a cat!
