McKenzie- CP- 10

Elly and I went to the Greek Food Festival today. She really liked it! I picked her up from her apartment and she invited me in for the first time. I was surprise that her and Billy share a room.
When we got to the festival, we wanted to try everything so we bought a spinach and cheese pies, baklava, moussaka, greek salad, and more! Elly was super adventurous, which I like, trying food that she had never heard of. There was a weird looking thing on top of the salad that Elly took a bite of that turned out to be a fish.
We went into the Greek church and Elly told me it was the first time she had ever been in a church. I was raised Catholic which is really similar to Greek Orthodox so I was able to explain a lot to her about the hymnals, crucifix, eucharist, idols, etc. Right when we sat down in a pew, the priest came in to do a free tour of the church which was pretty cool. He spoke too fast for Elly so she asked me to explain a lot of stuff to her.
It was a learning experience for both of us. We looked at books of photos from the Greek islands, saw Greek dancing, and listened to Greek music.
