We pretty much had our routine down pat, and because of it we scored the coziest seats with floor to ceiling views of the sea. Here is what we saw.</p>http://brooklynexperiment.tumblr.com/post/30732556587http://brooklynexperiment.tumblr.com/post/30732556587Sun, 02 Sep 2012 12:41:29 -0400sunsetGreeceGreek islands<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m9qhs2FQks1rzbvqgo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Our hotel in Perissa. This place was literally the cheapest place on the whole island to stay (less than $20 a day). Staying here was heaven on earth and we were very VERY sad to leave.</p>http://brooklynexperiment.tumblr.com/post/30737236242http://brooklynexperiment.tumblr.com/post/30737236242Sun, 02 Sep 2012 12:32:00 -0400SantoriniPerissaGreeceGreek island<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m9qdx2hITp1rzbvqgo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Volcano in action</p>http://brooklynexperiment.tumblr.com/post/30731973664http://brooklynexperiment.tumblr.com/post/30731973664Sun, 02 Sep 2012 12:31:50 -0400SantoriniGreeceGreek islandvolcano<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m9qdukl4Gd1rzbvqgo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Before leaving, we were so happy to find one of the vents of the volcano.

So of course, we climbed it. <i>We also went swimming in the hot springs nearby, but because we had to swim to them straight from the boat, I couldn’t bring my camera.</i></p>http://brooklynexperiment.tumblr.com/post/30731065896http://brooklynexperiment.tumblr.com/post/30731065896Sun, 02 Sep 2012 12:16:00 -0400SantorinivolcanoGreeceGreece islands<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m9qcfoouog1rzbvqgo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>The most beautiful black sand beach I’ve been to.</p>http://brooklynexperiment.tumblr.com/post/30730079313http://brooklynexperiment.tumblr.com/post/30730079313Sun, 02 Sep 2012 11:59:00 -0400GreeceGreek islandPerissaSantoriniblack sand beach<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m9qccu9vqA1rzbvqgo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>The black sand beaches of Perissa.</p>http://brooklynexperiment.tumblr.com/post/30729987865http://brooklynexperiment.tumblr.com/post/30729987865Sun, 02 Sep 2012 11:58:06 -0400black sand beachPerissaSantoriniGreeceGreek islands<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m9qc2npRik1rzbvqgo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Our little Santorini beach town, Perissa.

On this trip I have come to love those animals like I did with the elephants in Thailand. They are so strong, so lovable, and so connected with humans. And the way they smile and wag their tails reminds me of Penny.</p>http://brooklynexperiment.tumblr.com/post/30726016200http://brooklynexperiment.tumblr.com/post/30726016200Sun, 02 Sep 2012 10:41:07 -0400SantoriniGreeceOlaGreek islands
