Santorini

Last summer I went with a group of friends to the Greek Islands for a week and a half. I was studying in Italy at the time, and I was already seeing the vast differences in European life vs. American life.

So anyways, for a few days we are on the island of Santorini, staying in a hotel right on the beach. The owner of the hotel (which was rather small, fifteen rooms), got up everyday and worked in his garden. Then he ate lunch, went to the ferry to pick up more people, and spent the afternoon back in the garden. He was the happiest man I'd ever seen. All day, worked in his garden and seemed not to have a care in the world. I think it's easy to get caught up on what we should have or what advertisements and commercials tell us we want, opposed to what we need.

Not for nothing were the Aegean islands and the Aegean Coast (now West Turkey) the cradles of philosophy.
Took you only ten days.
