I took loads of photos in Santorini, and it is hard not to post all of them. It is such an exquisite setting. The beauty is everywhere. I love how clean the island is, and the contrast of colors. People pay such attention to detail in their decor. I was so impressed.

| I love this gate |
I think this was one of the most memorable walks I have ever taken in my life. Greek music was playing softly in the cafes. The owners were inviting me in to have a cappuccino. I explored every nook and cranny. It was magical.

I found a pretty hostel and imagined myself staying there in the future. On a cruise, you are just in port for the day. It's a good way to get a feel for different parts of Europe. You can always return to your favorite spots. I think I will be coming back to Santorini.

The gardens and the water really complemented each other. All of the buildings were so white, and they looked freshly painted. After arriving home, I began to examine my cottage with new eyes. How can I improve? Europe always inspires me. I love the decor and style.
