thank you, beautiful pictures/music, and I am missing it so right now as I just returned to U. S. from Santorini. The Greek history is amazing, this is a spiritual place, and you can feel it if you are open to it. The language, amazing the water, crystal blue, unless the wind picks up with a stormy look even the rocky beaches are lovely, much in the same way a desert is, different than home with white beach strands, but as a traveler, best to be open to where you are. I miss Santorini!
