Back to the Carnival photos......

She was looking the part
|
 |
on the Little Mermaid float.
|
 |
Maybe they are 101 Dalmations??
|
 |
Too pooped to parade.
|
 |
Lots of stuff on the back of the float, to keep everyone hydrated (not much beer left though)
|
 |
This was my favorite theme of the day...
|
 |
celebrating olive harvest. Some in Olive print dresses and
|
 |
others in overalls.
|
 |
Banging on covered olive tins, carrying baskets, ladders and the nets that catch the olives.
|
 |
Presided over
|
 |
by Athena.

It is said that when Athena and Poseidon were seeking to make the region of Attica
their own, they took part in a contest to see who would bear the best
gift to the region. Athena’s offering of the Olive tree was voted to be a
superior gift for humankind and so she became patron of the region’s
city, naming it after herself (Athens) and planting that first Olive
tree on its Acropolis, where her sacred temple, the Parthenon, was
built. from a templewild.com

Confetti and streamers litter the street, get tangled around peoples shoes.

It is extremely windy today. Howling. I can hear the waves crashing on the rocks below, through closed windows. For the first time the internet is slow, I wonder if it is the wind, or everyone hunkered inside watching streaming. Anyway, it makes blogging a bit of a chore so enough for now. There will be another episode.
