In Greece also the dictatorship fell in 1974. Strongly remember the events because I was 13 years.I think you enjoyed your meal with your friends.<br />Olympiaoldthingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08792844004937988499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2993237500972166102.post-30701618752804587072012-04-27T08:15:40.849+01:002012-04-27T08:15:40.849+01:00Thank you Marcia,

I have never heard of the Carnation revolution; what a great story! 25th April is a holiday in Australia too; it is our memorial day to honour our soldiers lost in war, particularly WWI and WWII. Many ceremonies at war memorials and marching of returned soldiers, and services in our churches.
