Pork on the Spit , Souvlaki on the Charcoal Grill, local wines from around the area and people happy to be sharing them together make up a good crowd. |

The tables empty and the street begins to shake. Everyone wants to have a go at Greek Dancing. Some aren't bad, some are pretty shocking, but no one cares. Tonight there's only one thing on everyone's mind and that's to have a good time. And who cares about tomorrows hangover or a few wrong steps. Here we go! |

It's a warm night after a hot day and there's nothing like a party in Frikes to cool everyone down enough to sweat it out on the dance floor. It's Panighiri Time! |

The drive home needs serious concentration. Dodge the street bars, dodge the dancers, dodge the tipsy, dodge the waiters and waitresses, dodge the cats, dodge the dogs, dodge the kids, dodge the sun burnt. |

" I win. I'm still sober"
No plates broken this year, at least not on purpose, but it was a fun night anyway. |
