Celebration Days

Celebration Days

Two days ago, there was the festival of Evengalismos, yesterday was Greek Independence Day, the 200th year celebration, and today, it’s my turn as it’s my birthday. And, because it’s my birthday, and because it’s a Friday when I usually post just photos, I thought I’d share some pictures from various times over the last 58 years. These are images I found lying around on my computer and have little to do with Symi, except that I have ended up here for nearly 19 years. So, forgive me the self-indulgence and have yourself a good laugh.
