Oxi Day 28th October 2008







So we became a part of the Greek culture this week as we celebrated the national holiday "Oxi Day" with Mike's tutor and her family. We visited with them at their house and heard stories of Greek history. We watched Irini cook some traditional Greek dishes and then we rushed to the center of their town for the local parade. All of the school children march through town and it is a big deal. The parade route was lined with people four or five back waiting to see their favorite kids march by. It was a new adventure for us that we were excited to be part of. Thanks to Irini and Efthemis, Dafni, Giorgos and Anna for letting us join their family today.
