Sunday Greetings :-) and a very happy Mother's Day....It is about 7:40pm Santorini time, and we write this from our favorite free wifi spot in front of Hotel Pelican !

We spent today back at Kamari beach, which is just north of Perissa beach on the other side of the cliffs. Another lazy, reading, chilling day... I think both of us are ready to see a new island, and explore new terrain. Santorini is pretty small, and in the short time we have been here, we have seen each and every corner-

The picture is of this delicious little puppy, whose Greek owner happened to find him on the side of the road yesterday. Thankfully, he told us he is taking him to the vet tomorrow for a check up, and then to his home...This is a lucky little guy, as many do not find homes. We have noticed that Greece (and Santorini in particular) has many strays; cats and dogs. Our hearts went out to these sweet guys as most of them were very personable but were dirty, had ticks/fleas and looked like they hadn't eaten in a while. Its hard to get used to dogs looking this way, when you don't ever see them in these numbers on the street at home in the states...

After passing puppy after puppy, we bought some dog food and water and strolled around giving the strays some nourishment. After about a half hour we had a bunch of new friends who were the sweetest things you'd ever met! We got a few weird looks from the store-owners who look annoyed with us, but I told Troy WHO CARES! We are feeding hungry puppies, who could seriously get mad at that--

I didn't want to give this little puppy in the pic back...he kept crawling into my lap and falling asleep. These guys definitely made us miss our pups back home ( JJ and Homer), but we know they are both in very loving, good hands ;-)

Troy just stocked up on cheap Greek beer and hopefully we will not need to sleep on the beach in Milos tonight...

Only a few more days ( 5 to be exact) and we have our Gulf Air flight to Bangkok by way of Bahrain. Luckily, we have delightful family friends Penny and Dan to receive us the second we land. I have heard landing in Bangkok as a lost tourist is as annoying as it is dangerous. We are so grateful to have locals to "teach" us how to navigate this city :)

Well, again to our beautiful mothers HAPPY MOTHERS DAY, and to the rest of our friends and loved ones....WE LOVE YOU

Until next time...
