Santorini

What craziness when I arrived at the port in Santorini. Everyone trying to sell rooms and the driver of the bus to my room acted like he had never heard of my hotel or pension. There is a lot that happens that your just not sure of. The drive to town was amazing with every bus and taxi, or scooter winding up the volcanic, steep hillside. My room last night was horrible (clean but in a non used part of the villa, but today "George", gave me a great room with a small balcony over looking the ocean. It is beatiful. There is so much to see and do and I finally feel adjusted enough to explore. In another day I'm taking a sunset boat to a beach, the volcano and an old port which includes dinner for 45EU. I've met wonderful people from all over the world and just had a beer overlooking the Caldera in Fia. I can't post pictures because I left my camera in Athens because I was stressed and forgot it on my bed. Can you believe they had it and will mail it to me in Santorini. I feel pretty chic having a Greek Island for my address for the next 4 nights.

It hasn't been easy. Traveling to each different destination brings with it stress and anxiety. I push through and end up thrilled with my adventure. The meal times are really different and hard to get on a schedule. I learned I have to remember to eat and drink a lot of water! It helps with the stressful time.

I'm off for a swim and then back to Fira (Thira for dinner and sunset). Sorry if it's not perfect grammar or spelling. I have to pay for every minute.

I can't believe I don't have any picutres of the island yet. I'll get them posted before I leave (if Greek postal is good).
