RC3: Rehearsal Dinner

After our pirate ship cruise around Santorini's caldera on Saturday, we snuck in a nap before it was time to get fancied up for the rehearsal dinner.

This is our view from our hotel room.  We did have time for a quick dip in the pool before a nap.



We arrived at the rehearsal dinner, hosted in a wine cave of the excellent Santorini winery, Vinsanto.  Two musicians were playing for us; the man on the right is playing an ancient instrument fashioned from a goat turned inside-out.




The rehearsal dinner began with cocktails outside...


...and we moved into the wine cave for an incredible Greek dinner.


After about 15 courses of amazing food, we moved back to our villas, where we launched lanterns into the night sky, sending good wishes to the soon-to-be-married couple.



A great day in Santorini...we were anxious for what was to come.

  2. It's always cool to go to places where you can light something on fire and just let it float away into the air - hope we didn't burn down any farms!
