I put two videos about Oxi (No)-day on the videoning, so if you are interested in greek history, just have a look...! I think (hope) I found some "neutral" videos..... Maybe Julie and Steve can tell us if there are any Oxiday- festivities today in Roda or on the island.

Thanks Petra - you are right, why do you think we have not been online today?
The nearest celebration of 'OXI' day is in Acharavi and everybody turns out, especially when it's a hot sunny day. All the school children take part to celebrate the day in 1940 when Greece said an emphatic 'NO' to Mussolini's demand for surrender. The event centres around children so that this important event is never forgotten. We'll post pictures as soon as possible.

Thanks Petra - yes, we had a lovely day watching the parade, especially as we have two friends staying with us. We still took something like 200 photos and a few videos.
