Europe adventure: santorini

Sigh. This place is just as awesome as I had expected. It's so quiet and relaxing. Which is totally not what I'm used to. I think it's the fact that the are not so many clocks around. I keep wanting to know the time. But why? Silly marzperez. I have no where to really be!

Anyways, five days on this beautiful island and I could probably live here.. I feel like I will be saying tha a lot. The people her are so incredibly friendly it kind of scares me. Oh.. What? Haha. People are nice? Not as nice as here. They always check if you're doing okay or if you need anything. That's customer service at it's finest.

The entire island of santorini can probably be done in two days. With a car. Or in my case, an atv. Hells to the yes. I rode an atv around town. And I looked hella good doing it... Oh. I'm modest too. Haha in any case. We got lost a million times but like I said... People here want to help.

The great thing about traveling abroad now would have to be the fact that I can tell we aren't the only ones. I see travelers everywhere and yes. We all stick out like sore thumbs. But it's cute. It's like a little connection we all have. Par example, ang and I were psyching ourselves out before the cliff dive. A group of other travelers our age were near us and just started to encourage us. And then! Small world again a little boy and his mom from the BBY started to give us friendly words as well. Needless to say, we jumped. And it was the best thing ever. The water destroyed my hair but I didn't care. Jumping off a cliff in santorini was a MUST.

Last days today and we are spending it relaxing by the pool and then catching the sunset at oia at night. Oia...omg. When you think santorini you think blue roofs and houses built on hills..just like the postcards. Yea. I saw it at night and I'm super pumped to see it in the late evening.

Next up: athens!!
