I have a new blog design template, Ocean Mist by Ed Merritt.  I like it because I can customize the header to infuse an otherwise generic template with a bit of my own personality. 

The header I have on here now is actually a cropped picture of the luxury hotel my husband and I stayed in on our honeymoon in Santorini.  Even though I am not a photographer, I managed to take some breathtakingly gorgeous pictures of the island.  Its beauty lent itself to that. 

In the header, you are looking out onto the caldera, a volcanic feature formed by the collapse of land following an eruption.  The island of Santorini is constanlty being destroyed by volcanic eruptions and re-built by its hearty, determined and brilliant natives.  The hotel we stayed at was literally built into the hillside (as are all other establishments on the island). 

I just now realized that I never wrote about my honeymoon on this blog.  Even for the most prolific and proficient writer, putting that experience into words would be a daunting task.  Sitting here right now, I can’t even begin to formulate an idea about how I would justify the trip with words.  It was too beautiful and sacred. 

Because of the water shortage and sensitive septic/sewer systems, you aren’t supposed to flush toilet paper in any bathroom in Greece.  In order to remind you of this, Greeks post signs like these on every bathroom door.  Once you see this, you will never, ever again flush toilet paper in Greece. 

“Grrrrr, I am angry with you, you paper-flusher.”

“I will murder you in your sleep.”
