Monemvasia, Greece 🇬🇷
Had my castle-storming’ shoes (sneakers) on today because Ken thinks there’s a high probability I will slip and fall walking on 1,400 year old cobblestones. I have cat-like balance. I don’t know what he’s talking…

Santorini, redeemed! Another ridiculous-floppy-hat day in Greece today. Though I spent a lot of time holding said ridiculous-floppy-hat on my head because of the wind! Sidebar: Greek yogurt hits different in Greece. It doesn’t have…
