home sweet home

Just arrived in Athens for Easter. About to head to my mother's village outside of Kalamata for the classic roasting of lamb with my uncles, aunties, and cousins. I can't wait (abstained from meat and dairy products for 40 days, I'm going a bit nuts). Just elated to be back home. Despite people's massive troubles to simply get by given the economic climate, there's is something special about Easter in Greece after all, which provides much needed inspiration.

I'm off to the village. To roast. And take pictures (I will post). There's nothing like it in the world.

Happy Easter. And I saw a great quote in LIFO magazine by Nikos Dimou this morning which captures the Easter holiday in Greece.

‎"Με Κρίση ή χωρίς - χαρείτε την Άνοιξη και την Ανάσταση. Δεν κρατάει πολύ, είναι όπως ο έρωτας. Αλλά, όπως ο έρωτας, μεθάει και λυτρώνει." Καλό Πάσχα παιδάκια.
