The next day, Saturday, we were up bright and early for the trip to Santorini. Once we had landed, we made our way in the bus from the airport to the Nomikos family house where we were staying and saw these scenes of life on the island

before getting to their home where Peter was nice enough to take the kids to the top of the castle while we walked on the deck enjoying many views including the swimming pool before the kids moved to the top level of the castle as I recorded the town below and the ship out at sea and wondered about the interplay between the town the ship and more generally the sea as we looked towards Oia the town on the north end of the island with the neighbors house in between as Clayton and Margaret continued to enjoy the scenery and Ben and Jane headed to the inside room as Suzanne and other members of our group posed against the backdrop before we climbed to the top of the tower and looked down on the deck and the town and the path up from the harbor as the kids spoke with Peter on the deck after which I was shown to our room

before we walked to town to see the archaeological museum where Professor Doumas gave a wonderful tour. On the way back, we recorded the sea the bust of Friedrich Hiller von Gaertringen scenes of the town and scenes along the path before Sarah and Ben Sarah, Ben and Jane and Sarah, Ben, Jane and Peter (we made him an honorary member of our family) posed and then Peter took a few pictures of our family. After we walked on we saw the beautiful shrubbery Peter (Sr.) had planted after which I took some pictures of Shirley against this backdrop and we waited for pictures of the sunset. Waited too long, some would say but here is what we saw and here are Sarah, Jane and Ben toasting it

before Mary joined them and these were the artistic pictures of people in our group against the nightfall as Sarah and I posed before the collection of pictures that can barely be seen

and a few family portraits set off from the dark pictures a few of Jane including the dark one and then increasingly lit pictures of Jane

then Ben Mary and I talking Sarah and Jane and the diving board and some artistic compositions

by Jane before the artwork gave way to the evening and we declared it a beautiful day in a beautiful place.
