Nicosia

Our apartment in Nicosia.
Ramzi walking to the end of the block to the "purple store" called Marangos where he loves to buy chocolate milk. He carries a wallet with three currencies in it-Dollars , Euros and Turkish Lira!

Here are some photos of the outside of the apartment building where we are staying. We are on the second floor of a three story building. It is somewhat grotty, very spacious, furnished, and we have two outdoor decks (which we use for drying clothes and the twins love to throw things from). The little boys love to open the windows and yell down to our neighbors. We are not used to living in such close proximity to others!

Trip to Paphos 08/08/09

We went to the City of Paphos for a day. Is is about 85 miles away from Nicosia. It is on the East coast of Cyprus. There are a lot of British expatriates there (somewhere around 50,000 in a town of 120,000 to 150,000). We went to the local McDonalds for ice cream, took a 1 hour boat ride to see a shipwreck and sealife on a glass bottom boat, and explored the town. We will go back when we have better plans. There is a lot of historical sites and loads of tourists, so maybe we will wait til Sept.
