Today is dear Larry’s birthday and we’re celebrating quietly in the town of Litochoro. Just behind us is Mt. Olympus! It’s Greece’s highest and most majestic mountain AND home of the 12 Olympian gods!
It’s a little cloudy today but Mt. Olympus is the snow-capped peak in the center.
May 1 is International Labour Day. In Greece this day is also a celebration of spring, nature, and flowers. Traffic was heavy this morning as most things are closed and families were heading to the beach for relaxing or the countryside for picnics.
It’s a tradition here to make a wreath of hand-picked flowers to hang on the front door to welcome nature and all good things. Our friend at the hotel made this pretty one for the front door of the reception area.
We had a very nice stay at Agnanti Hotel in Afissos. Anastasia our new friend at the hotel picked fragrant lavender roses and gave them to us as we left today.
We love the friendly Greek people! We’re having a swell time!
Happy May Day!
