Chic Santorini
Just one shot today. This has always been one of my favorites. We walked from the town of Oia halfway along the caldera of Santorini toward Thera, the main town. We saw this restaurant, Vanilia, which, by the way is still there in Firostefani (NOTE 6/2013 I THINK they are still there, but their website is inaccessible today). Click on the link to see more enticing photos. (I just noticed that according to their website, they were brand new in 1997 when we were there!)
The decor was stylish, the cliffside view was stunning. I suppose the food was good, but surrounded by so much beauty the meal became secondary. Then this model-like beauty walked out the door.
This is my contribution to Travel Photo Thursday, sponsored by Nancie at Budget Travelers’ Sandbox. Click that link to see photos from a couple dozen travel bloggers/writers from around the world. (You’ll also see Nancie’s own stunning shots of Burma.)

Sailing In The Aegean
I shared some pictures of Seven Greek Islands that we visited when we rented a 55′ Atlantic motor-sailboat named Annamaria and sailed out of Athens to the Cyclades Islands of the Aegean. I thought you might like to know a little more about life on the boat. We had eight passengers and a captain (you can see a picture of Nikos here). Nikos welcomed us to pitch in with sailing chores if we wanted, but it was not required on this trip.
