Last night we were off to the Greek Fest here in town. Seemed like a good portion of the city came with us. What a crowd. We had a very interesting tour of the Greek Orthodox Church (very beautiful) which was quite educational. Not many people participated in that, of course. Then we ate Greek food. I think the main thing they really do well is quantity. Lots of food. In vast quantities. Then we squeezed our way into the watch the dancing. The people come just to participate in the dancing I think. There is a live Greek band and folks just love to do the circle dance. Couldn't find anyone to join with me, so I stayed seated :). Guess we just needed some of that 80proof ouzo. At the end the men do the zorba dance, throwing around and breaking plates and drinking ouzo and throwing about the cups. It's a lot of fun.
