Full Moon


Dinner at Katina's before celebrating the Full Moon.
The island of Amorgos is behind us.


Last night's dinner of fish soup and salads.
My photo theme this year is culinary sharings.


Everyone was there! A full moon kept slipping behind transparent clouds, 
exposing herself shyly from time to time to the revellers 
who had gathered to celebrate her glow.

We kissed and hugged, first one cheek, then the other with each new arrival. 
Elpida, Sophie, Mereille, Gerry, Deela, Mariella, Vivi, Alexandra, Dimitris, 
Thanos, Anastasia, Demetris, Andre, Sarita, Yorgia, Manolis, Michael Anne, 
Mimis, Andrea, Sandra, Veronique, Alexander, Jenny, Igor. 
By midnight there were almost one hundred gathered from around the island.

Theo was the DJ for this celebration in Tholaria. World music surrounded us. 
We spilled outside, into the courtyard, onto the road and the stone wall. 
The moon peeked out from the clouds, watching as we talked, laughed and danced.

On the drive back to Chora, goats littered the road, refusing to move from their sleepy positions. 
The moon had retired before us when we climbed into bed at 3:30am.
