In the middle of that morning, I did venture out to Assumption Greek Orthodox Church (http://www.assumptiongoc.org/) in Town & Country, Missouri for their annual St. Louis County Greek Festival (http://stlgreekfest.com). I parked about 0.5 mile (0.8 km) in an office complex parking lot, then walked to the church.
After browsing among the craft vendors in the tent located near the sanctuary, I walked into the gymnasium for lunch. I ordered dolmades (grape leaves stuffed with ground beef, rice, and herbs, topped with a light lemon sauce) and spanakopita (chopped spinach, seasonings, and feta cheese in layers of buttered filo dough), with lemonade to drink. It was most tasty.
After lunch, I walked outside to see some Greek dancers perform to recorded music. It was nice seeing the routines from different areas of Greece, with the dancers' costumes from those different areas.
After the performance, I went back inside to treat myself to karithopita (honey walnut cake with a light syrup) with Greek coffee. This was most satisfying.
Soon after that dessert, I walked back to my car and headed home. I had some personal matters to attend to before watching Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final that night between the St. Louis Blues and the Boston Bruins. Let's go Blues!
Later.
