It's Greek To Me

 

While shopping for ex votos in the antique

markets of Monastiraki in Athens, I met

Achilles.  He started speaking to me in Greek

and I asked him if he spoke English.  He said

he thought I was Greek and when he found out

I was from America he said of course I must be

a Greek-American.  That's when I realized I

could be Greek, the dark hair, the dark eyes...

So sometimes I become Eleni Maria.

 

 

I am in Grand Rapids, Michigan today and

I found out there is a Greek Festival.

Oh yeah ~ time for Eleni Maria!

 

 

We checked out the food selections.

 

 

We had a delicious dinner of spanakopita,

moussaka, Greek salad and those fabulous

Greek green beans.  During dinner I even

met one of my friends from home.

 

 

After dinner it was time for dancing!

 

 

And to finish off the evening we split a

Baklava Sundae ~ sinful.
