Santorini Days


Everything is sunshine and gumdrops in Santorini. Sorry for the lack of photos and video. A) I haven't been taking photos and video B) I stored my laptop back in Athens. It's just me, sunblock, and my swimsuit.

I've got some thank you posts due to Ana, Bao, Willy, Rob, and Shilpa. Don't know when they'll get written but they'll be good.

There's still an initial shock when you tell people you've uprooted yourself and hit the road for 8 months of non-stop travel. But you can watch them think about it for a minute with slight admiration.

I finished BSG: Season 3. Holy Frack! I hope the next season's available when I return. Nothing left to watch but a couple of Disney lectures and Singin' in the Rain. At least I have my crazy Spanish Shuffle. I have about 1000 tracks on my Ipod that belong to a Spanish language program. When I shuffle everything, I get this odd mix where I'll hear Jimi Hendrix, Feist, some Hindi music, and then I learn how to say "yellow" in Spanish (amarillo) or something else random.

I do worry about the future. But everyone's got a different path and I'm confident that I'll do just fine.

    If we would know the serene peace of Paradise in this world, we must school ourselves in familiar, humble converse with God.

    Faith in God is not the beginning of wisdom; it is better to have doubt, for doubt leads to investigation. That's the beginning of wisdom.

    That's if you believe in God. But I suppose Santa Claus is real too.
