Santorini



I first heard about this place a while ago from a friend of a friend who is now my friend. I will refer to him as DW. Anyway, I told him that I planned to do a "euro trip" after the bar next year and he insisted that I visited Santorini.

I watched a movie today called "Sisterhood of the traveling pants" and one of the "sisters" went to Santorini, Greece for the summer. It looked absolutely so beautiful. I started looking around online today and decided in my boredom that I will plan my euro trip for next year. And among the most valued place I want to visit is Santorini. It has become my new obsession.





A little history: Santorini is essentially what remains of an enormous volcanic explosion. It is a small circular island located in the southern Aegean Sea southwest from Greece's mainland. A popular theory holds that Santorini was the location of the fabled Atlantis! The island is the site of the largest volcanic eruptions the planet has ever seen - during the Minoan Era.




At first, I think I wanted to just save this place for my honeymoon, but with that event not even close to the horizon of my future, I decided to say screw it. I can easily just find a cute Grecian boy to enjoy the beautiful sunsets with and be really happy too! ;)

I am obsessed!!
