Best Day Ever!

Today was our off day in Santorini, and eleven of us were lucky enough to go on a sailing adventure! DeAnna, Allie, Emma, Ashley, Cassie, Bailey, Courtney F, Jillian, Emily, McCauley, and I ventured by boat to the island of Anafi, which is about fifteen kilometers from Santorini. We departed from Santorini around 10 am and returned around 9 pm after watching a breathtaking sunset from the boat. Everyone agrees that this was one of our best days thus far, and we’ve managed to narrow down our favorite parts of the day!

Top Ten Higlights from Our Santorini Sailing Adventure:

10. Our boat, The Blue Lagoon- a gorgeous 41 foot catamaran

9. The amazing Captain Jimmy and his crew (We loved Courtney, a fellow American college student!)

8. Arriving at a private beach where we got to swim explore

7. Taking underwater pictures with Cassie’s camera and jumping pictures from the boat J

6. A delicious lunch prepared by the crew, all organic (none of the food was over two days old) and consisting of lamb chops, chicken, pork, sausage, calamari, shrimp, Greek salad, pasta salad, homemade bread & tzatsiki, and mixed vegetables.

5. Snorkeling around the boat and beach-the water was so clear!

4. Amazing views of the ocean, Santorini, and Anafi

3. Laying out all day and perfecting our tans (or burns)

2. Listening to sweet jamz on our Ipods (I’m on a Boat anyone?)

1. Watching the best sunset in the world over the ocean- the perfect end to a perfect day!

This was an amazing experience that will definitely be a highlight of the trip for all of us! Its so hard to believe we only have one more week left, and I’m so glad I got to spend my off day with the best new friends anyone could ask for!
