Santorini, My Love

It is impossible to go anywhere in Santorini that is not beautiful. After breakfast and my previous post this morning, we meandered to the bus stop in Fira. It took about a half hour before a bus was leaving that we wanted to get onto to go to the black sand beach of Piressa. I got a chance to go into the Aegean as well! I could not go farther in than what is shown in the picture because I was afraid my hives on my upper body would become more aggravated. The water was gorgeous and the sand was definitely hot. It was a perfect day for the beach and sun tanning because there was always a breeze going. We had lunch by the beach and thought we ordered Gyros when really we ordered a "gyro portion" so basically they give you way too much meat with the fixings and pita on the side. We took a pretty rockin' boat ride after lunch to another beach, Kamari, on the other side of basically a huge rocky mountain. It was sort of like a roller coaster on water with splashes included. We then took another bus back to Fira, then got on a different one to go to the red sand beach of Akrotiri. One of the pictures is showing me with the red lava rocks behind. We then waited for a long time for the bus to take back to Fira and what are the odds that I actually got bitten by a fire ant! Mom and I are going to get all gussied up for a fancy restaurant along the cliff with yet another lovely view. Hence the title...Santorini, my love.
