Our last weekend here and, as always, where did the time go? Long weekend begins today as Monday is Clean Monday(sometimes known as Green Monday for reasons that are unclear but probably not related to rhyme). It's the run up to Ash Wednesday, celebrated in the Orthodox church on Wednesday of next week. Children often wear carnival costumes and Sunday is sometimes a day of parades, though not on Latin American scale, and Monday is traditionally a time for picnics in the country as well as kite flying.
