It's been less than a week since I left the romantic island of Santorini, yet my thoughts linger. From the Aegean Sea to the mosaic tiled pools to the hundredth church cupola, the Grecian blue dominates the land. The juxtaposition of blue against the famous white architecture is striking, yet fitting. The family run hotel that I called home for the week was the Imerovigli Palace. The design was very simple, both inside and out; various shades of the blue were used like artwork on the doors, windows and frames against a white backdrop of pressed linens or freshly painted walls.
As I sit here, the view from my Rome balcony quite differs-- looking towards the horizon there is no trace of the Aegean-- feeling a bit blue... But inspired!
