May 30th is my birthday, and June 1st Olga's. So we split the difference and had a party on the 31st. We drove to a section nestled into the foothills of Olympos, with a small army of friends and relations and enough food for a much larger one.

Here's the idyllic setting:

The chef at work (Olga's dad), and the fruits of his labours:

Here's the table; note (a) there's absolutely no space anywhere on it, and (b) the supply of excellent homemade red wine.

There was music. I wanted to post a movie Δ but it's huge, better wait until I figure out how to recode it a bit smaller.

There was dancing. Another movie Δ, also huge.

There were children everwhere.

There was cake...

... with freshly-picked cherries.

A tortoise showed up...

... also beautiful Greek women ...

... and a mule.

Of course we had to take a family portrait (with someone else's car):

And late in the day we bade farewell to Olympos and headed home.
