It is the village where my grandfather was born. We spent the most time visiting here in 1964-65 when living in Corinth, Greece.
The two young boys with me in the overlook over the village are Mitsou (the younger, about my age in 1964), and George. They are nephews.
The night flames are the fires to make coals for the roasting the lambs. It is about 3:30 a.m., after church and a post-church dinner.
Tara is pictured with Georgia and Evangelista, her daughter. Georgia and Mimi (my 2nd cousin), live at the house in the village. Evangelista lives in Corinth with her husband, Ari, and the two boys.
On Saturday, Ari showed us how to make kokoretsi, which is basically the lung, heart, live and spleen of the lamb skewered on the spit (after marinating in salt, anise seed, pepper, ground onion and some ground garlic for 5 hours), then the whole thing is wrapped with the cleaned
small intestines. It is quite delicious.
Ari is in the picture with Georgia and me.
The rooster is just a Greek rooster that Tara took a picture of.
