Well, our trip to the countryside for Easter was very fun and refreshing.  We didn’t really have any big agenda other than to let the girls play in our friends’ spacious back "yard" (i.e one big, fun sandbox!); enjoy good conversation, hardy meals, rest and relaxation; and to take part in all the Easter festivities and customs we western-folk are all accustomed to.  We did all of these things and much more.

We even got the unexpected pleasure of taking part in the Great Rat Hunt of 2007.  (But that deserves its own post with a thorough blow-by-blow explanation…  Count on it for tomorrow!)

Anyway, thanks so much to our friends and the whole crew down south who made this Easter so memorable for us.  Here are the pictures.  More to come on the RAT hunting in the near future.

(He is RISEN, indeed!)
