Last day in Oia!

...yesterday has been a cloudy and rainy day. We spent it in Thira, the capital city of Santorini, walking around like tourists and having a big cup of yoghurt, fruit and honey on a beautiful roof garden overlooking the sea.
Got back home and decided to have dinner in a fancy restaurant. The fact is that we never go out for dinner and really never to fancy restaurant, so it is only once in every trip we make that we decide we can spend a lot more than usual for a special meal. So here we went in this place Ambrosia and Nectar restaurant and enjoyed this wonderful and expensive meal. Great experience expecially when the check arrived. But it was fun!
Tonight there has been a wind storm going around. I was awake almost all night listening to the wind singing!
But this morning... all of a sudden the weather changed and sun came out. We took the car back to the rent a car office and had a walk in the village. Bought some fruit and vegetables and cooked a light lunch and ate in the terrace... I spent a couple of hours sunbathing in the terrace while Andrea slept in the room:-) I went to buy some olives and ouzo and pistachio nut, then had some grapes to prepare a good aperitif to enjoy with the sunset.
After the natural show.... went to have a souvlaki at a place we've never been before.... a simple super/nice place where we ate a lot and spent 1/5 of what we spent yesterday and really enjoyed the dinner together with a couple of young cats asking for meat!:-)
What else? We had our last night walk in Oia and said ciao to all the dogs and cats we met in this place and met more gentle persons. This is really the thing that struck us more.... the gentleness and kindness of the persons: to keep in mind!
Transfer arranged at 5, we'll be in Rome at 10 something....

P.S. didn't told you about my job situation: the chief of personnel called me to ask to work for some 20 days more.... no permanent contract on the way... they'll discuss about the short-term contract position in the second half of october.... meanwhile, I accepted the 20 days more and will be back at work the 3rd:-( a little sad for this news... I was expecting a permanent contract from october the 1st.... but it's ok.... I've got an husband who watches over me:-)
