Tess and I woke up, read, and caught the local bus to Fira (Thira) around 10. We looked around some shops, bought a few gifts and then started on our three hour hike to Oia which is famous for its beautiful sunsets. The entire hike was along cliffs overlooking the water. It was one of the most beautiful sites I have ever seen. I truly believed I was experiencing the Divine in the scenes we were able to observe even through the heat of the middle of the day.
When we arrived in Oia we looked around a bit and then found a restaurant with a view of the sunset and settled in. We made friends with our waiter as well as the surrounding tables as we enjoyed grilled vegetables, wine, pasta, and dessert. The sunset was fantastic and we took many beautiful pictures.

Another perfect day laying on the beach. Tess and I ran a few errands (laundry, groceries, etc) but really just continued our lounging. We definitely both enjoyed this vacation, but I think we are very ready to head to Italy early tomorrow morning.
