Last Sunday I had the pleasure of celebrating yet another Greek holiday with friends. Theodora and Vicky organized a picnic to celebrate full of amazing foods, meat, great conversation, and more meat. I really want to take some of their traditions home with me. Especially their Easter egg traditions. They die the eggs naturally with onion peels and vinegar to give them a crimson red color representing the blood of Christ. The best part is the egg breaking tradition. Two people come together and hit two eggs together. As you can imagine, the egg that does not cracks is the winner. The girls even did some traditional dancing and singing. I learned one of their songs but forgot it as soon as I learned it...Greek is a tongue twister.
We ate all day and occasionally took a break to play some frisbee. Some of them had never even thrown a frisbee before so I played coach for the day. It was fun and funny to say the least. We didn't break any windows which was cool. Thanks girls for such a great day!!! Nicole and I decided that an American BBQ with smores, country music, and line dancing will be necessary in the near future:)
Me wasting the others in the egg breaking competition:) I really did win.
Nikoleta and I
Meat!
