Every year on the Greek island of Chios, shortly past midnight on the Saturday before Easter Sunday, there takes place a most extra-ordinary event.
FrankandNicole posted this short but explosive video of two rival church parishes battling it out with a most amazing (home made) fireworks competition
Strictly illegal, but I think that the police would not get far if they tried to shut down this very old, traditional Easter custom.
Well what can I say, when a blog with the title This and That gets chosen as a blog of note, I really have little choice but to post a tale about it. DeeDee's blog is about two people touring Croatia and Greece, currently staying in Mountain View (40 mins South of San Fran, Croatia) doin a little of this and a little of that.
This window into the life of DeeDee and her partner, Geoff, provides a great insight into the region and the recreational activities that it has to offer. It is a good read with some nice pictures, look it up.
