The Greek Festival

When Morris, John, and Ann were visiting, we all went to check out the Greek festival.

Everyone in Tallahassee seemed to be there.

We had a delicious lunch of homemade tiropita, spanakopita, orzo, green beans, and pastitsio.

And we saw some Greek folk dancing. Dancers of all ages dressed up in brightly colored costumes and danced in a line, stepping in time with one another and raising one foot up.

It looked exactly like the dances you see in ancient Greek art, like this votive relief of Hermes and the nymphs from the sixth century B.C.. You can only see traces of paint, but these dancers were once wearing brightly colored costumes too.
