The End of the Rainbow

God winked at me yesterday. But let me start at the beginning. Greece!!! I had NO idea how much I would love it. We came on riot day. Didn't know that until we showed up and there were no buses, trains or boats running. Every form of public transport was on strike...until midnight. So we split a 45 minute cab ride with a pair of orchestra players from London who were quite nice. Almost got into a car wreck...ouch! But we made it. Wandered around the port area for a bit while getting our laundry done and then went to dinner. OH MY GOODNESS!! The food! I tried a bunch of it and it was delicious. We sat in the restaurant for three hours. The first one eating, the second digesting, the third chatting with the London ladies because they got the same restaurant recommendation from the hotel as us! We learned how to say thank you in Greek from the restaurant owner. Efharisto (ef-har-ish-toe)!!
Santorini - the first island we visited. It's actually the rim of a volcano that blew up a long time ago, the cities are built on the cliffs overlooking the sea and it's famous for it's sunsets. We know why. We sat on a rooftop cafe and drank a glass of wine while the sun went down.We mingled with the people on the roof with us and mused about the terrible circumstances we were in. ;)

Naxos - the second island. When we arrived it was cold and raining....we came to go to the beach! So we got our umbrellas and headed out on foot anyway in search of dinner. Our hotel was kinda far outside the city, there was only one bus that came that way and we were on the last one so walking was mandatory. We got to the end of the drive and crossed the street to the beach.. Turned around and the rainbow....There was a huge bright rainbow stretching all across the sky. I walked past some trees onto the sand and there was the end of it. The actual, honest to goodness end of the rainbow. You can tell from the picture I hope. I felt like God was winking and saying, "There, that's just for you."
