the emporium of thoughtful thoughts: Greece! Naxos Part III: Miracles, Olive Presses, and Defying Death
http://the-thought-emporium.blogspot.com/2011/07/greece-naxos-part-iii-st-george-and.html
The emporium of thoughtful thoughts. Naxos Part III: Miracles, Olive Presses, and Defying Death. Our first stop was a traditional little town where we visited an oldschool olive press. I couldn’t get very many picture of it, since it was dark inside. It was very cool, though. The olive press and elderly german folks. Just down the road was a traditional pottery shop—another awesome place that I couldn’t get any good pictures of. It looks like this person managed it, though. Oh internet, how I love you so.

the emporium of thoughtful thoughts: Greece! Perissa Beach, Oia, and Cheeky Volcanic Lizards
http://the-thought-emporium.blogspot.com/2011/07/now-to-pretty-pictures-even-though-i.html
The emporium of thoughtful thoughts. Perissa Beach, Oia, and Cheeky Volcanic Lizards. Now to the pretty pictures! Lots of pretty pictures. Even though I prefer the lovely beach of Ios, I do admit that the beach in Santorini really is pretty. There are a few beaches in Santorini, but the only one we visited was Perissa, the one near our hostel. Britt and her magnificent hat. One of the main towns is called Oia (pronounced "Ia"). It's very pretty, but very touristy. Pictures! Out of the way, mule! Perissa ...

The emporium of thoughtful thoughts. I {heart} southern utah. More poetry, kids. we will return to our regularly scheduled program soon. If it were possible for a person to have a crush on a location, i would daydream about southern utah.

So here. have a poem about it. And when I die,.

the emporium of thoughtful thoughts: Greece! Naxos Part IV: The Portara
http://the-thought-emporium.blogspot.com/2011/07/greece-naxos-part-iv-portara.html
The emporium of thoughtful thoughts. Naxos Part IV: The Portara. On our last day in Naxos, we finally made it up to the Portara. We got an early start and got up there before most of the island had woken up, which is the best time to do things if you ask me. Few tourists, more opportunities to linger and take a million and a half pictures. The Portara is up on a little hill that is connected to the pier where we spent most of our evenings. Walkway to the Portara by Britt. Naxos Part IV: The Portara.

the emporium of thoughtful thoughts: Greece! The Agora and More(a)!
http://the-thought-emporium.blogspot.com/2011/06/greece-agora-and-morea.html
The emporium of thoughtful thoughts. The Agora and More(a)! After the Acropolis, we climbed down to the Ancient Agora. And here's a view of the acropolis from the Agora. I actually liked the Agora it much better. It was much quieter, as there were not as many people around. There was a beautiful building called the Chapel of the Apostles. By britt. church of the apostles in the foreground, acropolis in the background. There were lots of interesting carvings here and there, mostly Christian near the church.

the emporium of thoughtful thoughts: Greece! Naxos Part II: The Great Hissing Zorbas
http://the-thought-emporium.blogspot.com/2011/07/greece-naxos-part-ii-great-hissing.html
The emporium of thoughtful thoughts. Naxos Part II: The Great Hissing Zorbas. The concert started out with an old man playing the fiddle and a younger man playing the mandolin. They played some traditional Naxos folk songs and the old man sang. I, of course, didn't understand a word, but Nico piped in helpfully from time to time. Even if I didn't understand any of the lyrics, the songs were still beautiful. Music is the international language, isn't it? Or is that math. Yeah, it was awesome. Then the dan...

the emporium of thoughtful thoughts: Greece! Arrival in Santorini and a Visit to the Plague Doctor
http://the-thought-emporium.blogspot.com/2011/07/greece-arrival-in-santorini-and-visit.html
The emporium of thoughtful thoughts. Arrival in Santorini and a Visit to the Plague Doctor. You’ve probably heard about Santorini. It’s rated as one of the top Greek islands to visit and everyone talks about how omg amazing it is and if you only go to one island you should go there. The people who say this are liars. Listen to mama Brenda on this one—if you go to Santorini, go there for a day, maybe two, and go there before. People will tell you that the shopping in Santorini is amazing. When the time ca...
