Well, as YiaYia would say, eveything
works out in the end. We pulled into the village square, which was the
end of the road, and started gesturing and saying the closest thing to
Greek that we knew: mama - Voula Panagoulias. YiaYia - Maria Alikes PaPoo
- Georgos Panagoulias New York. It turns out that the first man we met,
George Grikoracos, (above) knew of all the aforementioned. He is
the brother of Stella's counsin John's mother. In other words, he is related
by marriage to Dave's grandfather (he is the brother of the woman that
married George Panagoulias(Dave's grandfather)'s brother. Whew.). His sister
Marika (in blue), cousin John's mother, welcomed us into her home
and his wife (in green) stopped by as well. He said that he had a dream
the night before of all the family coming to visit and was sure that our
stopping by was foretold by that dream.
