Before we pulled into the church’s parking lot, I knew it was going to be a great field trip. Going to the Greek Orthodox Church was the best experience I’ve ever had. The first thing we saw were vendors around the building trying to sell their products. We went to a room with matryoshkas(dolls) on tables all around the room. There was a man saying that one set of the dolls were 5 generations of his family. Next, we walked into a hallway with pictures of people and certificates on the walls. Then, the girls looked at different clothing items. After that, we went outside. We went to another clothing section and the girls looked at dresses while the boys looked at and tried on male rings. I even got a ring stuck on my finger! After that, a man told us about what kind of church it was and about the ranks and biblical historical figures. When we left the church, we went to eat. We ate Loukoumades, fried dough with honey mixed with syrup and cinnamon mixed with sugar. As soon as we got done eating, they let us play on the inflatables. Finally, we got back on the church van and went back to the Academy. The thing I loved most about the field trip was that we got to learn about the biblical history of the Greek Orthodox Church, and got a chance to taste Greek foods. This was a cheerful and joyous experience. Wouldn't you like to attend this event with us next year when we go again?
