Mykonos

Ah, to be touristy and cliche. I simply had to stop on this island for a night and see what it was all about. As it turns out, it was exactly as expected; contrary to what that usually means, it was lovely and enchanting.

My time there is best summed up in photos; enjoy the reel.

Santorini

YIKES. Blogging has fallen out of my daily routine; I have begun to associate the thing with travel and adventure and, having settled in one location for the time being, it seems somewhat unnecessary now. However,  I really do need to continue - I have plenty to share!

But first, Santorini. I stayed four days on this gorgeous island, which is apparently notorious for attracting American tourists. Being early in the tourist season, I mostly encountered the odd, abandoned animal.

The land mass of Santorini was created (and is still propped above sea level) by a historically volatile ocean hotspot; said 'hotspot' caused the infamous collapse of the once elite Minatorian society (or so legend has it).

Sincerest Apologies, Readers... And My Fond Memories of Rhodes

As I was perusing the overwhelming amount of adorable merchandise at Nordstrom Rack this morning, I realized I had not written in disappointingly long time. What triggered the neurons in my brain to connect the two seemingly unrelated subjects, I have no clue. I am glad though, for my erractic synapses; I love to write, and a busy schedule truely should not prevent it.

Not only a busy schedule, but the events since when I have stopped writing. I left you hanging in the Syrian desert, alone with the friendly Bedouins, whom I am certain have shown you nothing but hospitality. I have very fond memories of my time with them, but my journey didn't end there. After a few days of busses (more lengthy bus rides that any person should have to endure in their lifetime), I made my way up the Turkish Mediterranean coast, and took a ferry to the historical Greek Island of Rhodes.
