After a long, hot and sweaty day of triathlon training, we got all cleaned up and headed for Yannis' house for a party! We did a variety of activities including beach games and most importantly, dancing! From personal experience, I can tell you that it was hard; getting to know the steps, going along with the rhythm and of course making it look decent. Most of the NOKY kids and their parents joined in as well. When dinner was ready, the kids brought the dishes out and offered us food with kind smiles on there faces. It was a traditional meal. We had greek salad with olive oil, bread, meat (I think it was pork) and potatoes. After dinner, we exchanged gifts and the Mr. Doland taught us how to do a trick with a pencil that we shared later on with the Greek kids. It was great to see how happy they were. Eventhough one of the kids, Ilianna, and I didn't speak the same language, we still could communicate and just by looking at her smile I could tell that she considered me her friend. It was incredible experiencing a whole new culture just through a party. Overall, the day was really fun and we all had a really good time getting to know eachother and the locals.
