A week of Symi Photos 3

Some more photos, in random order, from last weekend’s festival at Kokimedes. Everyone and anyone is welcome to attend these festivals, and we were made very welcome. Manolis came from the kitchen to make sure we had arrived and had a seat, and later made sure we had eaten and that we had been given beer. Very fit old ladies were up and down steps with plates of lamb and kritheraki (rice shaped pasta) and salad for lunch, others gave you biscuits and coffee, speaking a little English when they realised we were not Greek, and there were even goody bags to take home and give to anyone we knew who couldn’t be there. Neil has a doughnut and a cheese pie in the fridge that we brought back for him.
