Birthday Bash #1

We have three birthdays this week... the 29th was Katie's, the 30th (today) was Mike's, tomorrow is Halloween and Nov 1st is Michelle's!

Today was also a field-trip day. More on that to follow (hopefully I'll post tomorrow).

To celebrate everyone's birthdays all together, we went as a group (all 19 of us, plus Geoffrey and Yuria!) to Pantelis' for dinner and then headed to Vasilli' bar afterwards! He graciously let Leesa play her music again for a while but nearer to the end of the night, he put Greek music back on!

I now have a couple 1-minute videos of Geoffrey dancing for us... SO fun!

Then Yuria and Vasillis got up to show the rest of us how it was done... we quickly joined in and soon almost all of us were attempting to dance along with them! Seems like the traditional Greek thing to do is hold hands or link arms (over shoulders) and follow the person at the end of line until everyone is doing the same steps as they do something like a congo line around the room (or, if Vasillis is leading, right out the door into the patio part of the bar -- in the rain).

At one point (almost) everyone gave up. So Leesa took a video of Vasillis, Yuria and ME giving it a go. Highlight of my night!

Time for bed now -- we're going back tomorrow all dressed up for some more dancing!

Muchos love, friends!
