Only I would pick my nose at a Santorini sunset.

Today we headed out from Naxos to Santorini.  I was really sad to be leaving Naxos; I fell in love with that island!  I was even more hesitant to get on another damn ferry.  Good thing this one was a slow-traveling Blue Star, or I would have really been freaking out.  The ride here was about 2 hours, and the port at Santorini was PACKED.  You can so tell that this is a huge tourist island.  We drove to our hotel and got settled in, then headed out for some lunch and then to relax in the hotel.  It is damn hot here.  Holy crap.  I don't know what it is going to be like here in August if it's this hot already.  We met Vaggelis to head up to Oia to watch a famous Santorini sunset.  The whole island is like 7 miles from tip to tip, so from Thira to Oia it literally took us like 10 minutes with traffic.  Oia is where Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants was filmed and is famous for its cliffside homes and hotels built into the rock.  Most likely if you have seen a picture of Greece, it was depicting this area.  Vaggelis said that some of these cliffside hotels go for 700 to 800 Euros a night; you definitely have to pay for a view like that.  We walked around Oia for a little bit before we finally settled on a spot to sit and watch the sunset.  We sat on the roof of one of the hotels and just took it all in.  That sunset was worth our entire trip here.  I was most excited about coming to this island out of anything that was scheduled for our trip, and with that one sunset I was sold.  The architecture here is so unique with its white walls and blue roofs, and it all literally sits on the side of a cliff.  It's amazing!  After we watched the sunset, we headed back to Thira for dinner.  My dinner schedule is so messed up; we don't eat till 9 or 10 every night, and Vaggelis still insists that is too early for him to eat!  Vaggelis is quite the character.  He was going into the kitchen to talk to the chef and cleaning up our table like he worked there.  I swear sometimes he has adult-onset ADHD.  He just cannot sit still.  Turns out he knew the owners and workers (he lives in Santorini part of the time after all), and it was okay for him to basically cook and serve us at their restaurant, but still.  We ended up closing the place down (Vaggelis insisted that we had to be the last table there even if it was one in the morning).  I am sort of like the resident punching bag here when Vaggelis is around.  Anything and everything I do he makes fun of.  Last night it was about my complaining about the mountain climb and my love of food, along with 100 other things.  I love it though; in my family that's how we show we like each other.  He did tell me though that I could pass for Greek....so legit!  Now I just need to learn the language, and you know, move here.
