A Women's RV Forum run by Women RVer's!

I was so excited….I have never been to a Greek Festival before.

I had a bird’s eye view from atop Liz’s red hat.



Liz told me she’s not really a red hat type. She feels kind of silly wearing purple and a red hat in public places, but this is just one of the sacrifices she makes for her friends. I told her I could do that too, so she found me a red hat.



These are actually Spanish olive trees, not Greek olive trees, because Greek olives don’t grow well in Florida. Liz stopped to ask a question of the grower and I’ll tell you, for the next 15 minutes I learned more than I’ll ever need to know about the care and feeding of olive trees.



Speaking of feeding, this festival was all about the food. Liz ate a Greek salad.



We skipped dessert, but there was plenty.







I guess Greek coffee is twice as good as American coffee.



We watched this lady for a few minutes hoping to get a picture of the flaming cheese while it was flaming…but never saw that happen.



If you didn’t get enough food here, you can buy some more to take home.





There were Greek crafts for sale too. Well Italy is close to Greece.





Hand painted stacking dolls





I was expecting more colorful Greek dancing, and well just plain more…but this single musician played a lively tune while this couple danced.



Liz actually made a video clip of this dance, but you really don’t need to see it ….looks just like the picture and just as boring.



Except for the food that people seemed to be enjoying, I’d have to say the Greek Festival was a bust…maybe it’s the economy? Outside the building there was a Greek Bazaar?



Greek yard sale?



Greek slide for a couple of kids



Greek face painting…these Greek clowns looked pretty lonely with no faces to paint



There was no line for Greek massages



Bungee jumping had a few takers



We weren’t the only ones in funny hats



It came down to taking pictures of a pretty flower growing in the parking lot



But we all put on a happy face for you



I don’t think I’m the red hat type either.

Belle....you sure look nice on Liz's cap.....too bad the crowd was thin.....thanks for sharing the photos....

Belle you look mahvelous in your red hat & so does Liz! Looks like a lot of fun at the festival, but no way would I have gotten outta there w/o having some baklava. The pastries look so good. I think you two are very good sports to wear red hats for your friends.

Was the festival a bust because there were few people, or were there few people cuz this festival is known for being a bust? LOL - Either way- still looks like you had a good day - as all days spent with friends are good ones.

Belle, I LOVE your red hat - very classy.

yea, doesn't look like there was a lively festival. I guess the economy has a lot of folks staying home and counting their very few pennies. I know i started doing that last summer. I'll bet they put a lot of work into that gathering, and then got the small crowd. sad.

Re: red hats,... I've been asked to join a group here. I asked my friend what it was all about,.. she said to have fun and prove that we were "independent women" ... well, I declined graciously and said that I prove I'm independent when i hitch my camper and take off! different things for different people, that's what makes our diverse world so interesting! Nobody is right, nobody is wrong, we're just different.

Amen, Cedar!!

Belle, bet you were the bell of that festival!
