Oia, Santorini

FullSizeRender(4)IMG_3815 Oia, Santorini was the last stop for our guys after Venice. They took in the picturesque villages of this extraordinary island. A small town built upon impressive cliffs with spectacular views of the Aegean. In this scenic community one can maneuver by foot or mule through the narrow streets dotted with shops, cafes and blue domed churches.

IMG_1465 IMG_3821Constructed upon steep slopes called a “caldera” these whitewashed houses and restaurants are carved into volcanic niches, which are an architectural feature. These idyllic surroundings offer the perfect location for gorgeous sunsets and views of the harbor. With many thanks to our on the spot reporter’s.

Travel stylishly,

Election Night

I VotedI remember senior year in high school our Government teacher stated that if anyone was to be 18 years of age by the November election we could complete a voter registration form. I have voted every year since that form was submitted and have been part of many historical events. Over the years Northern Virginia has experienced great ethnic and cultural diversification, we elected the first African American as Governor in 1990 and Fairfax County helped elect our 44th President. Watching the returns, it is great to see how close these races are this evening, which indicates people did get out to cast their concerted opinions.

To everyone who scheduled the time to vote today, you are to be commended!
