Easter


Here I am at the library on my laptop with a card reader for the SD card from the camera! (Like that sentence?) I have been postponing my next post until I could post pictures. I have posted pics to my old posts, so if you want to see some, go back to look.
The Germans celebrate Easter in a 4-day weekend. First, there's Good Friday, then Saturday is a bonus day, next comes Easter Sunday, and finally Easter Monday. A really fun tradition is that they hang Easter eggs from trees. Another interesting thing: there is a truck that drives around the little villages delivering colored eggs (real ones!). One lady bought 4 1/2 dozen (a LOT!) and then gave us one egg each.

Yay for pictures! I like that tradition of the eggs hanging from trees. That's fun. Europe really knows how to celebrate holidays. I would like a 4 day weekend for all holidays please!!
