this island was windier than i imagined it to be, and you can see that in some of the photographs. i was surprised by the flatness and emptiness of the land itself, but i found a lot of beauty in the architecture. i’ve always been drawn to the white and blue of greece buildings. i learned on this trip that houses in greece are white and blue because the whitewash used to contain limestone, which is a disinfectant and helped combat the spread of cholera. blue was chosen because it is the cheapest color. i think the combination makes more some really visually pleasing pictures though.
