The day before the wedding, the rains came. We'd planned to have dinner in Ia with the group, but that was a bit of a haul from Fira, where we were staying... so, hauled ourselves by taxi or bus to the tip of the island, where we made our way to a beautiful little port area in the pouring rain. We were all a bit worried about the next day, but after a few bottles of wine and good company, nothing could be wrong! Our wedding party was complete, at last, with the arrival of Jen Harmon, Anna and their crew.
Paul and Sylvia here... It was almost impossible to get Paul to SIT DOWN and engage with the group for the entire trip... he was obsessed with his fancy camera and the Santorini surroundings... but, here is a quick capture:

Drinking along the way, of course:
