OPA!

One of our favorite events is this weekend, the 18th annual Greek Festival. Nick and I went today for lunch. Everything was great as usual. We had souvlaki (pork tenderloin in pita), pastichio (Greek lasagna), dalmathes (stuffed grape leaves), and brought home a sampling of pastries. We love Greek food and try to make the festival every year. This used to be held at the Charlie Rose Center, but moved back to the church grounds a few years ago. This first time that we went to the Rose Center, Nick sent in one direction to get drinks and I went in another direction to get the food. I found a seat, but he didn't see me, so I am calling out, "Nick, Nick!".
At least fifty guys turned their heads to look at me! Finally, my Nick heard me and came to our table! We, of course, go for the food, but there is music and dancing and merchandise booths as well as the blood mobile from Cape Fear Valley. This is the closest most of us can get to being from a big Greek family, so join in on the fun and food.
