On Sunday night, we were invited over to Yannis' house to party with locals, live Athenian musicians and great food! When we first got there we learned how to make these really cool figurine Greek statues made out of plaster. After, we walked down to the beach and played a few fun games to pass the time before heading for some food. On the way, we noticed there were animals like turkeys, ducks, dogs and cats in cages and roaming around. They looked really happy to see us. We ended up eating Greek salad, then moved on to pork with potatoes, which was delicious. Finally, the band got out their instruments, which consisted of a guitar, a bouzouki, and a mandolin. After dinner, we listened to some music and did some dancing. The band played a little more, and when we were parting and saying our goodbyes, we received 3 gifts: A jar of jam (flavours apricot and one in Greek), a bottle of olive oil, and a random statute of one of the plaster figures we made. They had things like the statue of Nike, the victory goddess, or Apollo. The party was really fun and I bet the kids next year will really look forward to it.
