May 23rd. Twenty-Four years ago a beautiful baby girl was born into our family. We tried to make a special day for her. Hopped in the rental car and headed to Perissa Beach on the other side of the island. There were beach chairs and umbrellas tourist ready…and most were FREE (unlike the beaches in Italy). It was a black beach (very hot on the feet) and there were many restaurants to enjoy for lunch. We enjoyed it all day long!
After returning to the Cave House, we all spiffied up and headed out to watch the famous Santorini Sunset…along with a few hundred other people :)
Then we went to Candouni Restaurant. The girls had staked out “THE PLACE” for Jenni’s Birthday Dinner. It is run by a couple of Greek-Canadians and was Delicious! Even Angelina Jolie and Matt Damon have eaten there. Plus the movie “Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants” was filmed there.
We have heard some devastating news from around the Island. An American tourist was killed yesterday while walking on the Donkey Path from Armeni Beach where Jay Sea Dee is moored. Apparently he and his family were on the path, he lost a leg in the landslide that they are still searching for and his wife and daughter were injured. There were other people along the path as well when a small earthquake caused this large landslide. We were on the other side of the Island and felt nothing. John had to take the Volcano Tour Boat in this morning to get the Dinghy out of harms way since he could no longer walk up and down that path due to the ongoing search and closure of the path. He and Jonathon had taken the donkeys up just 24 hours prior…fate…makes you go hmmmmm.
