These poor donkeys were the saddest creatures ever, sweltering in the sun. There were hundreds of them. Their purpose is to climb up and down the steps that scale the side of the volcano that Santorini is perched atop, carrying tourists who pay for the ride. We opted to take the cable car to the top, and to walk back down.
This is the view from the top of the above-mentioned steps. Laura and I walked down them very carefully--we slipped on the polished stones every few feet. Damn those flip-flops!
Aha! As we sat and ate lunch at one of the outdoor restaurants perched in the side of the mountain, Laura and I spied our Swiss cohorts on a deck below us.
A beautiful view of a church in the side of the mountain.
Santorini has a very wide selection of absinthe--and, the shopkeeper told me, a very long list of American buyers, to whom the Greeks ship their wares.
A gorgeous staircase complimented with perfectly matching flowers.

Did you have any absinthe while you were visiting?
Kate, you weared flip-flops? Why am I not surprised:-), we were laughing on our way down about all the tourists in flip-flops.
