Santorini :)

We are on the beautiful Island of Santorini! We went on a boat tour today. It was lovely! We went to one of the Islands that makes up Santorini that still has a semi-active volcano! I saw smoke, felt heat, and touched hot sulfurous rocks. It was awesome! We then went to hot springs that have tons of minerals in them and I put mud on my face and arms. No pictures unfortunately because we had to swim from the boats. We then went to another Island that has no cars, no sense of modern transportation at all. There are donkeys to get to the top but we bypassed the 5 euro price and decided to walk off the ice cream we just got. I think the walk made it so much more worth it! We valued the view and the beautiful town at the top so much more! We then boated around the Caldera, a body of water caused by a volcano erupting and the land collapsing to form the water basin, a little bit more. So beautiful!

A huge praise! We have almost all of our hostels and transportation booked for the rest of the trip! Hallelujah! We only have one night where we would stay on Samos Island for about 6 hours so we have just decided to stay in the port until our next ferry leaves at 7am. Pray for safety that night (Monday 5/30). We are also in need of a bus to Istanbul from Kusadasi, Turkey for Wednesday night 5/1. But that shouldn't be to hard since it isn't peak season. Everything else is pretty much booked!

We are having a more relaxed day tomorrow as we are little bit tired from all the sun and hiking today. Thank you so much! For all your prayers! We are having a wonderful time!
