where were your great-grandparents born?

[JSojourner]

Greece

Damn........another Greek here.......good deal.   

See?  I knew there was something I liked about Duke! 

Well, like 2 Greeks, we argue for sport and rarely agree on anything....... 

But we can unite for the good of Greece! Spartans!!

My sister in law is Greek and took me to a Greek restaurant in Old Towne Alexandria last summer.  OMG -- that was sooooooo delicious.  I wanted to go back on Thursday night when the waiters perform Greek dances.  But I was told customers are usually encouraged to join...and in my case, trust me -- NO ONE want's to see that!  :-)

I was in that same restaurant last summer (well early June, so at the end of Spring). And it was very good.

Greece

The one with both indoor and outdoor seating?  It was fantastic.  I remember wishing we'd get the hot looking waitress, but instead we got some old guy who flirted with my sister in law.  He turned out to be the highlight of the evening, telling stories about Greece and his family's life there.

Opa!
