Santorini, Greece

On May 23 we went to Santorini. The only way to get to the city is by burro (which Di and Karena did) or gondola. The city sits high on a cliff overlooking the ocean and is so beautiful. We wandered through the streets and climbed to the top of the city to see the famous blue-domed church. Laura, Rodney, Shane, Ed and I had stopped at a cafe and were talking about what a great moment in life we were having when Rodney pulled out a ring and asked Laura to marry him!! We were all speechless (except Laura, who said "YES!") Poor Di and Karena were off shopping and missed it, but Rodney said, "I was waiting for the right moment and there it was." It was a great day. And a bachelorette party to plan in the future!!

Isn't this just the cutest patio ever?

Celebrating on the ship that night - champagne and beer! The girl on the right is Areselli - we met her on the cruise
Singing karaoke (Love Will Keep us Together). We were so bad people clapped when we left the stage!

All of us drinking ouzo

These doors were in the side of a cliff!

I love that Rodney asked Laura to marry him there! What a great memory that will be. They really are such a fun couple and will be so happy together! Congrats! All of the pictures are so beautiful. I really want to do this cruise one day...
