Greek Easter and Mike's Birthday

Mike and I celebrated Greek Easter with a co-worker and her family down in a village in the Peloponnesos. It was such a treat to be received so warmly by this family and to enjoy an authentic cultural experience with them. Goat and octopus were served for dinner, fireworks and miniature hot air balloons were released on Sat. midnight, and Greek music and dancing in the square on Sunday! Additionally, we celebrated Mike's 52nd birthday there on Easter Sunday. We thoroughly enjoyed our time together and realize it's hospitality like this that causes so many to love Greece.
