The "Sardine's Selebration" at Velimahi village.

For those that they think that the Sardines goes only to the villages near seaside,

................

they have to reconsider.

At Soula's village, for I think 7 times in a row, they are celebrating the sardines.

The celebrations took place at the center of the village, and the only thing that you can eat and drink that night is (of course) Sardines, Greek Salad, Bread and a lot of Wine!.

Sometimes the have live music and sometimes they bring a DJ but that is not a problem for everybody from the village to stand up and dance.400 kilos of Sardines are grilled that night.

Yep, 400 kilos!

(You couldn't find not even a paisley next day..).
There were almost all the people of Velimahi but there were a lot people from the villages around it.
If you look carefully the previous and the next picture you'll notice the people dancing while the tissues in the air (The plates that we ate were plastic so they could brake them by throwing them down on the ground).
Vaggelis keep bringing up Sardines. Here is his grandmother (Soula's mother).

Do you want some? Katerina ate a lot that night and they were great!.
After kids ate their Sardines the went to dance.

And as you'll see from the next pictures, they dance a lot!!!




Finally just before we come back to our home, the DJ played one of his favorite music.

And as you can imagine he wanted to dance.

And so he did ..... in the middle of the street!!!!

It was okay, no cars, just people passing by.

Everyone liked this celebration and we can't wait for the another one next year,.
