OPA!

It is Greek Festival weekend at Sts. Constantine and Helen

Greek Orthodox Cathedral just down the street

from our house. This is the 35th Annual Festival, and

it is a big deal here in the Capitol of the Commonwealth.

There were seventeen dance groups scheduled for

this evening. And a lot of impromptu dancing around

the stage and in the lines waiting for foods.

My muzzer and Dad did not pawticipate, though they

enjoyed the dancing and the costumes.

This is the line for takeout food.

There are traffic policemen directing the traffic

on our part of Cary Street Rd., and lots of

folks are trolling for parking.

Fortunately, we live close enough to walk.

Here is ONE of the food tents.

There were four lines, and eight

checkout people!

And there were smaller tents for specialties like

Gyros and Limonata and seafood

Muzzer had Souvlaki

and Rice Pilaf

And a wonderful salad.

Dad had Tiropita,

Spanakopita

Yahni

Dolmadi

Pilaf

A Shrimp Skewer

And a salad.

They brought home Baklava, Ergolavi, Greek donuts,

Galaktoboureko*

and some wonderful fennel flavored butter cookies.

YUM.

We got leftovers, and now I know that I would

enjoy a trip to the Greek Isles.

Tomorrow.

A trip to Five Guys Hamburger

in Honor of My Pal Joey.
