Into Fira and Free Pasta

April 23:

Today we slept in a bit and as I left the room, to read for a bit in the sun of the balcony, the owner flagged me down and told be to open our door. Soon we were delivered a plate of pasta apiece. With food taken care of we were content to lay around for a while. Eventually we got the energy together to head into town. We had seen some gorgeous views the night before and were excited to see them in the daytime. We wandered around the town and took in the sights. Fira is the capital of Santorini and is a huge tourist attraction. Built into the caldera of a volcano that exploded, destroying a good section of the island in the 1500s it is quite the sight to behold. After walking around for a bit we tired and headed back to the hotel, grabbing some supplies at the grocery store along the way. Back at the hotel we got into our bathing suits and headed to the pool. Though it was too cold to swim we sat out and read for a while before the sun crept too close to the hotel’s roof. Once it began to get chilly we headed back to our rooms for the night.
