I never asked but I heard you cast your lot along with the poor. But then I overheard your prayer, that you be this and nothing more than just some grateful faithful woman's favourite singing millionaire, the patron Saint of envy and the grocer of despair, working for the Yankee Dollar.

easter

just got back from my first day at work back in greece. enough said about that. i've been without internet for awhile so forgive the gap in posts.

this post concerns greek easter which i just celebrated this past weekend with my parents at my countryhouse. the celebrations consisted of lots of 3 hour naps (usually from 3 to 6 pm), good 9-10 hour night sleeps and eating in between. there was also some marginal church involved with lots of incence and spacing out over candles. church can be quite psychedelic you know... anyway, i took some pictures mainly for the benefit of my american friends who saw me so many times getting homesick during easter in the states and also saw me refuse to take part in the greco american replicas. i hope know you understand:

these pictures were taken at 11:30 in the morning. food and wine had already started. not for the faint hearted, not to mention vegetarians who should migrate outside greece for easter.
