How was your Easter celebration after 2 years restrictions?

I wonder if you also enjoyed your Easter celebrations like I did after 2 years restrictions to visit friends and enjoying nice food. Usually I have been invited for lunch Easter Sunday at Letymbou village in the years before Covid, but this time it was at Simou, also Paphos countryside, ever so beautiful.
Both photos are from their balcony
Since 13 years I was always invited at Christmas and Easter from my good friend Christos and his family and this time from his in-laws living at Simou. It is a large family and all members come together to celebrate with huge amounts of food they prepare on site on the char or members bring along from home. Also other people were invited mainly for business reasons, this time from Germany and Russia which are in the process of building houses and installing photo-voltaic systems and pools, which Christos (owner of GreenAir) sold them recently. So part of the conversations was of course about the current situation with high prices of energy and how to tackle it. Everybody avoided luckily to mention the ugly war in Ukraine, instead everybody was eating, drinking and laughing for a change. It was also nice for me after so many years to speak my first language with one of the guests but also to join in speaking Greek with the hosts as their English has been non-existent. (recently my Greek improved a lot) As Christos second job is Deputy Mayor I asked him about the new highway at Paphos to Polis and he confirmed that they are starting with the tunnels at the moment.
So after five hours really fun I said good bye and drove back home (only consuming 1 glass of red of course)
