Kalo Myna

Here are some roadside flowers, picked on a walk through the olive groves that cover Paxos. On the first day of May folks here, like elsewhere, pick flowers and put them on their doors. Near the summer equinox, on one of the saint days (St. John's?) folks will take them down and burn them in the streets. I will put these on the boat and burn them over the water. Another custom I learned is that of saying Kalo Myna (sp?) to wish all those you meet a good new month. TSM
