ORTHODOX BAPTISM CEREMONY, WHAT A CEREMONY!

My friend the musician Manolis Vasilopoulos has work playing guitar or keyboards on summer seasons in the islands, someday is here, and the day after is there.
Once upon a time he was working for "Aloni" pub, in Sifnos, and he has a lot of good friends in there. It was the time of baptisms, and a friend of him has a little beautiful boy named Iasonas, know what... yesss, the Iasonas baptism ceremony, a full greek style baptism celebrated in the church of Panagia Vounos, a beautiful chapel between Apollonia and Platy Gialos, hanged on the top of the mountain with a breathtaking view.
This kind people told Manolis that I was invited too, and I went. Oh dear God! What a celebration! Mountains of foods and a lot of wine barrels waiting for us! Musicians and dances, and don't hesitate, just go ahead and dance! And if you don't know, no problem, is the same, just dance as you can and have fun.
Two days lasts the celebration, I only remember the voice of someone telling to someother:
"Hey! the argentine guy is so drunk that he is sleeping on the table! come on, help me to move him to a better place!! ha ha ha! we don't want problems with his embassy! ha ha ha!!"
My last memory and no more.
The afternoon of the day after I wake up in my hotel trying to find my brain among my clothes, ignoring why, where and how I was there.
Anyway, a-m-a-z-i-n-g.
