The sunsets here were mesmerizing. Watching the pinks and purples and oranges light up the white and blue buildings while staring down at the ocean below really took my breath away. Almost indescribable. Now I understand why they are world famous.

| Greek ferries are fancy! Maybe we could get some lounges like this on BC ferries. We took the boat from Paros (where we dropped off the sailboat) to Santorini. A pleasant 4 hour journey! |

| Or eat another Greek salad! |
Now I've always wondered, if Greek salad taste the same in Greek? or do we have a Canadianized version here at home.
ReplyDeleteGreek salad is pretty much the same, although there was no lemon juice (only olive oil drizzled on and lots of it), only green peppers (never red but you'd like these green ones), massive amounts of cheese (and it tasted creamier and more like goat feta) and sometimes capers. :) So our version is slightly Canadianized.
DeleteYour pics are amazing:) permission to steal some of them?
ReplyDeleteThanks! I may personally know the photographer. :) Sure, steal away! You can grab them from the blog but if you want originals or full size, we can send you a link to google drive.
