The festival yesterday was quite the experience. I definitely did not expect our outfits to be what they were (lots of layers and extremely hot) but it was exciting to be apart of an important cultural tradition. I don't know how the Cretan woman did it, because after ten minutes my arm was exhausted from carrying the pot and I just wanted to laugh. Jumping over the fire was definitely out of my comfort zone but I am extremely glad I did it. The only way to describe the couplets, in the general sense, is as... interesting. I had a great time *attempting* to dance and spending time with the locals. Even though we didn't dream about our husbands, it was a great experience and something I wont forget.
