Red eggs (in Greek: kokkina avga, κόκκινα αυγά, pronounced
KOH-kee-nah ahv-GHAH) are perhaps the brightest symbol of Greek Easter,
representing the blood of Christ and rebirth. The eggs are traditionally dyed with yellow onion skins.
We were happy to find a bakery open to buy something for breakfast. The woman working insisted that we all take a hard boiled egg and wished us Happy Easter.

We walked over to the National Gardens to play before catching a taxi to the airport.
Lillian was thrilled they had monkey bars.
Guess who convinced her dad that she needed a kitty purse for her birthday?
We ate at outside at a restaurant on a pedestrian street. Many of the restaurants were roasting entire lambs on spits outside. The girls (and I) thought this looked disgusting. I have to admit that it smelled delicious.
This is my favorite Euro. The owl is a symbol of Athena, Goddess of wisdom.
I am so glad we had the chance to visit Greece.
Home again.
I think this is the first time it has really felt like coming home...probably only because we have booked the movers.
