7/1/09: Day 248: Santorini, Greece

Okay…enough is enough. Stop with the beauty already!

Santorini is awe inspiring. The entire population is built on the top of what seems like a crescent moon shaped island with a small black island in the middle of the “C”. What it really is is a huge volcano. The black island in the middle of the water being the dome. Since all of the buildings were so high up there were three ways to get up there: monorail type sky car things; donkey; or walking. We went donkey. The trail zig zags up the steep side of the island for about a mile (total, not a mile straight up). The donkeys are used to doing this all day and just kind of keep going. And the only way to walk up or down is along the donkey road…so you’d be walking in poop the whole way.

We didn’t really have all that much time on the island. As we were walking around we ran into Ric, Sayjal and Demian. They were walking a few towns away to have dinner and we joined them.

From there we hustled back (via donkey again) to clean up before our show. Audiences have been pretty sparse in the other shows, but we had a good turn out for our last show of the contract.
