Happy Greek Independence Day!
Today is Greek Independence Day, and it's the first time I've been in Greece during the holiday. There has been a long celebration in the center of Metsovo with much music and dancing:
There are a bunch of people around in their traditional costumes as well as many tourists from other parts of Greece who figured that Metsovo would be a great place to spend the holiday weekend.
March 25th is also the Greek Orthodox Feast of the Annunciation (the choice of March 25th to rebel against the Ottoman Empire was not coincidental), and the local church was packed last night, and people milled about outside afterwards.

Did you visit Bari, Italy. My son is considering accepting a teaching job there but only has experience in northern Italy... we are trying to help him find out what it is like there.
