In the Greek classic, The Odyssey, the epic hero Odysseus takes a ten-year journey through the Greek islands encountering all manner of mishaps and adventures including shipwreck, a cannibalistic cyclops, seductive sirens and more. While our journey through the Greek islands notably misses out on the cyclops, I'd definitely still classify it as an adventure.
We boarded a passenger boat and took a 5-hour ride through the Greek islands to arrive at our final destination of Santorini: a.k.a. Greek paradise. Unfortunately, about 1 hour into the ride, the boat's engine died and we sat stranded in the waves for about 45 minutes before the crew had everything up and running again. 45 minutes may seem like too short a time for cabin fever to set in, but I was pretty sure some of the other passengers were considering mutiny.
Santorini was fantastic! It was even more gorgeous than these pictures convey, but you'll have to settle.

Griffin at breakfast...what a goofy grin!
Walking around the city
Our hotel was built into the side of the cliff and gave us the most perfect view we could have asked for. My father warned Landon, "Don't let Camille get used to this kind of lifestyle." Truthfully, I'm not sure that I ever could get used to it.

It looks like you guys are having an amazing time...let me know when you take the burro ride. Mom was oh so fond of that journey as she sat at the front of the buro line taking in the breathtaking views. I on the other hand was on the last burro in the line and kept getting my leg rammed into the side of the mountain which proceeded in my loosing my shoe. What an adventure!
I miss you guys oh so much and I love checking the blog! Much love!! - Becky
