On The Mountainside by vickisfotos

On The Mountainside

First thing after we got off the bus in Kalambaka, a local man that had also been on the bus decided he would lead us to our hotel. On the way he proudly pointed out this place on the side of the rock that the locals love. Every April they have a festival of St. George, at the end of the church service the youth of the town climb this rock and remove the last year's scarves and replace them with new ones. They are for wishes for good health for the next year. It is visible for all the town to see throughout the year.
Oh my goodness, that is so cool. what a thing to see. Loved seeing Mesa Verde, but this is incredible!
