Snapshot Saturday

I went to a homecoming ceremony today. Almost everyone is home, almost.

Fall in Italy is gorgeous, here's a picture to prove it.

Today is a day of watching college football in our household. I wish AFN was showing the Oklahoma State vs. Texas Tech game, but alas, they are not. So, I'll have to settle for another Big XII game.

Because we are busy watching football I'm just putting up a recent picture from my venture into Prosecco wine country.

Snapshot Saturday: Santorini

It's been awhile since I posted an installment in our cruise vacation from this summer, so I thought it was time I posted about Santorini.

Santorini was the third stop on our cruise and my favorite. Eight hours there was not enough, I'd love to go back and spend a few days just relaxing on the island. The town we ended up going to on Santorini was Fira. There are 3 ways up to the top of Fira where the actual town is at. Donkey, cable car or you can walk up a million steps. I chose the cable car. Call me lazy!



I'm a huge fan of the white buildings on Santorini. They really make everything around them "pop".



I loved this bar sign, so naturally I took a picture.



These gates looked out on a spectacular view of the harbor. You can't see it, but I loved the gates just as much.



This is one of my favorite pictures I took on the vacation. Unfortunately the ISO was set high by accident and there is a lot of noise in it. Otherwise, I love it!



Looking back at the town of Fira.



This is on the far side of Fira, looking at one of the churches.



This is what I think of when I think of Santorini. I walked all the way to the far side of Fira just to get pictures of these.

And this:







Looking down at the ships in the harbor.

I didn't take a shore excursion here, my main focus was just to go around and take pictures of the island. Actually, that was my main objective on all the stops on our cruise. Plus shore excursions are expensive and...I'm pretty cheap.

Next up in the installment: Corfu, Greece.

As you all know I'm in Foggy Londontown this weekend and will be gone until Tuesday, so this is a scheduled post to fill the time until I get back.



This is one of the towns in Cinque Terre on the west coast of Italy. It's my favorite town: Manarola. I've been twice, but hope to go back again before we leave here!

I miss him



And these:



Did I mention I have the social life of an 80-year-old woman these days? It's true. Except I don't knit.

Yet.

Well..I'm slowly adjusting to being back here in Italy. In all honesty I haven't done much. I went briefly to post yesterday to check my mail and to get groceries and that's it. I've just been spending time with Boomer, watching the Twlight Zone and trying to get my body readjusted to being in this time zone.

That's honestly been the worst part. The first night I was back I slept fine because I hadn't slept on the plane, but last night I only slept for about 3 hours and then woke up around 1. I couldn't get back to sleep until almost six and then slept until noon. Not my idea of fun!

One thing I did want to mention was to all my new followers out there. If you don't see your page on my list of links or on my blog roll, then please leave me a comment and tell me what your website is. I'd love to check out your page as well and don't be afraid to introduce yourself.

Now, I leave you with this picture from my lunch date with my dear friend Kebi.
