Went to dinner and 60 minutes later this happened. Pics from our balcony. We had to Kung Fu fight through the crowd to get back to our hotel. Leaving for Santorini tomorrow. Mark

Oh, ya I got married on Friday ; ) Here is my face when I found out I didn't win the lots I wanted in the Legend Auction. Tracy's face is when she found out I didn't win anything in the Legend auction.

    Congrats on your wedding! I hope you have cash on hand since I hear credit cards are not being honored and ATMs are being emptied. I went to Santorini with my (Greek) wife a few years back and it is beautiful. Hopefully the madness will not impact your time there.
