Mykonos Mornings

This entry is a bit late, but I thought I’d post it anyway!

I hardly ever see 8:00 in the morning. However, with my recent and ridiculous travelling, jet lag is blessing me with the music of the A.M!

I have become victorious with my never ending battle of gloomy Seattle weather, and am now sitting in the sunshine and light breeze of Mykonos, Greece. I am at my boyfriend’s house on a hill side that overlooks a valley of wildflowers, a reservoir and in the distance, the soft waves of the Aegean.

Since it is the week of Greek Easter, and my birthday, I hear many farm animals mooing, cooing, clucking and baaing. Maybe they are getting ready for the feast this upcoming Sunday!

In Greek culture, a Greek orthodox is suppost to fast for 40 days from all meat, olive oil and anything else that is in a normal diet. But this Sunday, it has been told many Greeks will eat half their body weight in LAMB!!
