Is it really Easter Day?

Happy Easter!

Not that you would know that it is Easter Day here - it is very quiet ( I think most people are at the beach) and it was hardly even mentioned this morning at church (I think the Christian churches here play it down because the Catholic churches (who are different from European Catholics because of the prominence of idol worship) make such a big deal of Holy Week. So all we had to alert us to Easter was that there was a prominence of fish dishes at every place we went to this week (does anyone actually know why fish is the tradition during Holy Week?)
...during...and after:
Easter eggs have not caught on here, although you can buy really small ones (which Humberto described as large!) at elevated prices. We decided to still get eggs and do a small egg hunt for Daniel and Baruj in the garden which they both enjoyed.

Can you spot all the eggs? (there are 2 in the top picture and 3 in the bottom! - Guess whose were easier to find?!) How many did I find, Mummy?
