There aren't a lot of Irish people in Greece, but for the handful that there are, plus most of the study abroad students, Thursday night was a night to go out, have fun, and paint our faces with clovers. We headed to a bar called Lotus, which was hosting a St. Patty's Day party. We met the owner, Stavros, in our first few weeks in Thessaloniki--he's the guy who told us the Greeks like to celebrate everyday. They definitely fulfilled that saying on Thursday night. There was traditional Irish music, plus some Dropkick Murphys singing "For Boston," the unofficial anthem of Boston College. Green beer, homemade bread with green butter, hair dye, face paint, and free hats made for an exciting St. Patrick's Day celebrated Greek style.
