We were surprised to find almost no
sign of Easter today (though we did think the call to prayer from the local
mosque was a bit more off-key than usual). People tell us that it isn't really
celebrated all that much, except in Croatia, which is more Catholic than this
Orthodox, Muslim and Catholic country. We did see a lamb roasting at our local
market this morning, but we can't tell if it was for Easter or just a usual
thing. And yesterday at the bigger cheese, egg and meat market in the Old Town,
there were a few decorated eggs. But no big deal, it seems.
Yesterday we wandered around doing
errands and finding important things (for Bill at least!) like the brewery. And
then we had Turkish coffee, which is a lot like what we used to have in Greece,
but they serve it with Turkish Delight, which I said was really Aplets and
Cotlets (for you Washingtonians out there). Bill said that was probably
sacrilegious.  |

At any rate, here was our Easter
morning breakfast. And we also discovered inadvertently that the European
daylight savings time happened during the night, so we lost an hour (seems like
we already did that this year!).
