Almost time to "Fall Back"

Wow, it's been a long time since our last post. We have been very busy beavers the past 3 1/2 months. Here's what we've been up to...
  • Hiking in the Jungfrau region of Switzerland
  • Belated honeymoon in Santorini, Greece 
  • Belgium Beer Festival in Brussels
  • Champagne tasting in Reims, France
  • Columbus Day getaway in Alicante, Spain (where and when the Volvo Ocean Race kicked off)
Oh yeah, and we worked a little bit in there too. There's plenty of pics online - enjoy at your leisure.

Santorini was fabulous - we did NOT want to leave. Our hotel was on the cliff side, which faces directly west. So we watched the sunset from the pool deck every single night. We rented a motor-scooter and went to just about every beach on the island. Each beach was different - because the island is essentially an erupted volcano, the sand was different colors depending on which part of the island you were on. There was a red beach, several black beaches, some with sand, some with pebbles. The food was terrific, too. In addition to some great seafood, we definitely had our fair share of Greek salads, eggplant and olive oil. If you are ever in the market for a cool vacation destination, we highly recommend Santorini!
