yesterday Socrates, who is 6 years old, celebrated his "name day"... as big a celebration as the birthday in Greece.  The name day is the celebration of the saint for whom the person is named (I don't know about the Socrates thing and i'll look into that!)  Anyway, his mom, Stella, invited us to their home for cake.  then to make his day complete, Jim went outside and played football/soccer/whatever with him... til Jim's toes got ruined.  Then we went to Elena and Toine's home for a raki-tasting party.  This is the raki that was made last Saturday, made from the crushed grapes without making wine first.
