My First Birthday Without Snow!

December 21, 2011: My first birthday ever (as far as I can remember) without snow. There's not much to say really...mojitos for brunch (because I finally turned 19), took a look at the escargo that the hostel owner was growing, we went swimmming and had a great time, my makeup ran, Jesse nicely took off his shirt for the camera and then we went back to the hostel for cake. Mmmmmm cake :]

Visiting Thira

The local bus system on Santorini is quite interesting. After waiting quite a while at a bus stop near our hostel, we walked a ways down the beach to the bus station to try our luck at catching the bus there. All of the buses on Santorini are coach buses, and our driver was listening to loud music, driving pretty fast and talking on his cell phone as he drove along the narrow island road to Thira. It was kinda sketchy but we made it and live to tell the tale.
