GREEK FESTIVAL 2007

Spent a lovely evening with Liv-ers at the Greek Festival downtown. We ate scrumptious grinds, including lamb and squid, (yup that's right, I'm a sucker for a cute greek boy's food suggestions) and topped off the meal with baklava. For a gal that 10 years ago would never consider eating meat, much less lamb, I'm thinking I'm growing up.

Can't say we didn't notice/appreciate the "Greek God's in the Making" who provided the entertainment. Honestly, how do they make those jumps look so natural and easy, I tried, but didn't succeed, and was grateful no one was looking at me.

Ended the night with a lovely tour of the Greek Orthodox Church which was recently renovated. A kind man gave us a very interesting tour including great explanations of the art and deep symbolism.

Finally, word to the wise, or not so smart... Street parking is not always free... My perfect spot outside the festival actually earned me a $20 ticket. I'm happy to make my donation to the utah transit system, but let's be real, was that really necessary???
