We spent 5 days on the island of Cyprus celebrating Paul's birthday. The weather was perfect and the Greek people were warm and friendly. It was a nice break from the city.
A quiet beach near the birthplace of Aphrodite (the Greek goddess of love).
Sunset from our lanai
A small fishing village on the northwest side of the island. Our favorite kind of place.
Our favorite Greek restaurant. The owner greets you, takes your order, gives you advice and hugs you.
A plant store in the village of Omodos. We stopped here on our way into the mountains.
A typical scene in Cyprus as well as Beirut. There's always time for a game of backgammon.
A birthday picnic at our final destination in the mountains, the small village of Foini, where they still make the authentic pottery. All we found were handwritten signs along a narrow stairway leading to a broken firing pot and locked doors. Like many places in Cyprus, if they have something else going on they lock up.
The only sign of inhabitants in the village of Foini. This must be the local watering hole.
