This is Rochester!

In Rochester, MN the Holy Anargyroi Greek Orthodox church has a Greek Festival -- "GreekFest". After living in Rochester almost 10 years, we finally went this year. Accompanying us were Linda and Paul's sister Diane. Sammy enjoyed the Greek music, dancing, and food. The weather was fantastic, the conversation enjoyable...altogether a great time.
