Mykonos in Greece

TBAPeter was not so well loosing his battle with a cold so we layed low at a coffee shop for the afternoon but in the morning we were swept p as there was the festival with the locals celebrating Greek Orthodox Easter they had a band and traditional dancers in the main square and everyone could and did join in. There were a few of the usual watch and bag sellers refugees from Ethiopia around and they were as welcome at the feast as us boat people. There were hard boiled eggs that they had coloured the brightest dark pink, olives and olive pastes, cheeses, wine in plastic cups and a gingerbread bun which was delish! The ladies of the town layed a table with traditional food and walked around with baskets to make sure everyone who was in town that day got to eat and celebrate with them it was an amazing vibe of sharing.
