Santorini is So Exciting!

I am going to go to Santorini this weekend. Here is some more data on it. It is the most popular island in Greece. I fact, during he summer season, the whole island is so packed that you can’t even walk in the streets! Almost all photos of Greece the world over were taken on this island. I am told that it is just incredible beautiful. It is not that far away from here about 2 hours by boat. It is going to be beautiful this weekend. It is pretty much considered to be the island of Atlantis because it sank at about the right time 2,000 BC. The island is actually a volcano. It used to be really big, but it exploded so hard that it imploded, and it is now just a rim around it. The blast caused tsunamis and earthquakes really badly. I think the blast was about 10,000 times greater than that of Mt. St. Helens, and that may be an under exaggeration! There is a museum there where they just dug down into the ash and whole towns were preserved like in Pompeii. However, there are no human bodies. The people were smart enough to get off the island before it exploded. It’s got castles and frescos and everything. Just pretty exciting I think.
