the stories of Oia (part i)
we'll just keep this post simple. i love Oia. Santorini's beautiful. it's a great place to vacation, the people are uber friendly and are absolutely willing to help you and show you around their wonderful island, the cliffs are a marvel to walk, and the seas and skies are a perpetual endless sapphire blue. not to mention the sunrises and sunsets (not the most beautiful ever, but certainly breathtaking, plus you get front row seats everyday). i could wax lyrical about Oia forever, but i'm lazy and it's easier to let my photos do the talking (note: in the midst of travelling right now, so photos are unedited for now)
walking along the streets of Oia on the first night
our amazingly awesome hostel
my first sunrise in Oia
view from outside our room
the streets of Oia by day
me and Oia
random shot of door
even more random shot of donkey
and the madcap scenery shooting begins: we embarked on a 10km hike through the mountains, from Oia to Fira
rented a car, drove back to the port in Oia to catch the sunset (and swim, and seafood)
sunlight off the water
random shot of Oia from the port
first sunset in Oia
the port by night
Oia at night, quiet, tranquil, beautiful
and thus ends the first day in Oia, Santorinistay tuned for more! when i get bored.

eh i think the walk from oia to fira more shag than samaria gorge, and quite pretty also, all blue coastlines! and jared is an ugly pig.
re: it's a brown shirt, and the berms are off white, so it wasn't inspired, just very bright.
re: donkeys are how cute can. way cuter than you.
