Greek Festival! OPA OPA!!!

On Saturday when I got off work I went with my friend, Emily to the Greek Festival. She's Greek so it was really neat to go with someone that knew about the culture, food, dancing and the beer!!! The Greek festival is held at the Greek Orthodox Cathedral in Norfolk. I forgot my camera so I couldn't take pictures of any of the dancers, the food tables or of friends!

I got my mom a really neat gift there for her birthday! Can't tell you what it is because I think she reads my blog and her birthday is right around the corner and I don't want to ruin the surprise! I had lots of food and dessert and watched some really neat dancing!!!

For dinner I had Pastitsio which is a macaroni casserole with ground sirloin topped with a creamy cheese sauce, Spanakopita which is spinach and feta cheese baked in filo pastry, and then I had Tiropita which is a blend of cheese baked in a filo pastry. It was all so yummy!!! Then I got Loukoumades which is the Greek donuts!!! I know it sounds like a lot of food but I didn't eat it all I brought a lot of it home for Paul to try since he couldn't go with me!

This will be a festival that I go to every year for the rest of the time we are in the area!
