We had a leisurely breakfast this morning on the terrace overlooking the Aegean, then meandered down to the beach, which is a 15 minute walk from our hostel in Oia. It was beautiful! The sea was a vivid aquamarine closest to the shore, and a deep blue further out. We (finally!) spent a fully relaxing day swimming, reading and napping in the bright sunshine between the cliffs.
We walked back up (another hill!) to our hostel around 530. There we rinsed off, then ate a quick dinner (those €2 gyros are keeping us going!), and walked back down toward the beach. Oia is known for its views of the sunset over the caldera, so we decided we had to see it at least one night! The sun seemed to melt into the horizon, becoming a vivid orange-red before it disappeared. We sat on the beach watching the last pinks and oranges of the sunset fade into the deep blue night sky, then walked back up to our hostel in the dark. But fear not, avid readers: we came prepared with our flashlights to light our way home!
We took care of some business this evening, and are now settling in for the night. Karla is currently icing down my back which got a tad sunburned despite my careful application and re-application of sunscreen. Come to think of it, Karla did my back...

Question for Alicia: Did you find the table lamp you wanted?
Question for Karla: How is your pitching arm?
Love,

Karla! How could you allow Alicia to lobster like that!?!?
Too bad zoe wasn't there to put tea bags on your burn while katie literally stood on top of taking advantage of your weakened state...
Not that I've ever experienced that...
I miss you!!!!!!!!!! Can't wait for Point Lookout next summer (I've re-invited myself) where we will all be sure to use enough sunscreen!
