Recently we returned to Jordan after a nine day trip to the Mediterranean island of Cyprus; hence the long silence on this blog. We've been to Cyprus several times now, although not because we especially love it there or find it to be a particularly special place; we go there because it's close, we know people and can usually stay for quite cheap, there are beaches and it is out of the Middle East. Here are a few pictures of our time.
The beach in Larnaca, the southern coastal city where we stayed.
McDonald's, obviously, where we ate for the first time in about seven years, since for our first night we had no food in the house where we were staying. I wouldn't say we were missing much.
Our neighbors at the house where we stayed grilled chicken one night. They were kind enough to bring us a plate.
A sign in Larnaca.
A door in downtown Larnaca.
Drinking Cypriot coffee in a little cafe in Nicosia--the capital city located in the middle of the island.
Some kind of construction was going on in Nicosia at the church behind this green fence.
