PM - we traveled to Santorini this morning and I went out exploring on a run later in the afternoon.  Steep hill to climb back to the hotel - but fun run all the same. 

AM - 1.50 miles early in the day on a hiking trail - but I needed to get back to meet Tracy for breakfast and the trail was steep and technical so when I got to what I thought was the summit but it was shrouded in cloud cover /marine layer.   
 

PM - went out later in the day for another go at the hiking trail.  Not so easy for running - loose rocks and steep - I was told by one hiker that I was the only runner they had seen all day.  It is a long trail between the towns of Oia and Fira which is a total distance of 10k.  I ran about 2.5 miles out and turned back and took lots of photos.   This seemed the type of run that Jake and Andrea would do on vacation.   Views were great.   The island in the Aegean Sea is really the rim of an ancient caldera that filled with water and they built these cave like villas on the spine of the ridges and down the sides - all painted white with some domes painted blue.   It's a very unique experience.  

AM - 3.25 miles from our place to the end of the town of Oia and back.   Wanted some relatively flat terrain for a day.  

AM 4.25 miles from the hotel running the reverse route I did on Sunday.  Steep climb at the end either way.   Then Tracy and I did a hike on the trail of 2 miles.   She did very well on the steep terrain.   

AM - 4 miles in the town of Oia and up the road towards Fira.   Last day here for our vacation.  Head back to Athens later today and fly home tomorrow.   

AM - last day of vacation - explored a bit more of Athens this morning and covered some of the same ground of previous runs around the area including the stadium and the Acropolis and surrounding area.  Heading home later today if all goes well.  

AM - 3.5 miles with Finn in the neighborhood at home.   Got in very late - and after just a couple of hours of sleep, but wanting to get back on the right time zone schedule I was fine when Finn woke me up at 6 am to run.
