We took the ferry from Athens and arrived in Santirini on Monday afternoon. The room we booked was about as big as a closet and seemed like the middle of nowhere. We were actually just outsde Perissa, a nice little beach town with lots of cool bars and restaurants. In the pension we stayed at the front door got locked so when we got home at midnight we could not get into the house. Of course our phone was in the room so we could not phone the owner so Marlyn climbed in thru the bathroom window an dfor her efforts received a gigantic bruise on the back of her leg. We then moved into a place called "The Best" in Perissa just a block off of the back sand beach.
We rented a car and toured the island checking out Fira and Oia which are both spectacular, especially Oia which hangs right on the cliffs. The crowds are massive though with 4 cruise ships in port, somedays they get 8 ships in! We met some nice locals and some people from Norway and had lots fun. Friday we took the ferry to Naxos where we will spend a few days and explore. The old town where we are staying is built around the old fort and is like a maze, pretty cool though!
Pictures soon.
What happened to our football team????
Don + Marlyn!

Marlyn can't blame me for that bruise.
Everyone's invited to a big party at Don and Marlyn's this weekend. Don't worry about those dirty shoes....
We lost to Montreal 41-4 and to Winnepeg 29-22, we really do suck in all facets of football...Colin
Esks are 1/4 in the past month, we are gunning for a rematch in the east semi in Winnipeg, go esks....
Athen's was an over rated, polluted city 15 years ago, the islands are a lot more fun, have an ouzo for us.
Was it the ouzo or retzina that gave Marlyn the bruise as we know it wasn't Nayowski.
Hey guys, just dropping you a line from jolly old England where the wind coming off the channel is about 50mph today and the waves are 10 footers. Sounds like your weather isn't all that bad. Just got back from a week in Ireland to find out about the Esks. Not much to say as it sounds like we are tanking. Maybe the Esks should take up soccer or knitting. Oh well, there's always the crossover. By the way, Don, I talked to Marilyn tonight and she got a call from Ron who has just been accepted as a pilot with Westjet. Big news, thought you might like to know. Cheers and hope you run into warmer weather! Blog you soon,
Bri
