So to continue our story of our return from Canada.... I drove Dale to Larnaca so he could head off to work the day after we arrived in Cyprus from Comox (Sept. 15). We had a lovely visit with Michael and Keeley and their boys in Calgary on our way back. I was in Kouklia for 6 days (so I could become an Alien, play bridge, go to Church and go out for lunch and dinner), and on Sept. 21 I headed over to Cairo (another drive to Larnaca - I just hope my car is still there when I get back). Micah lent me his bed for the night, and Jacqueline and I caught up on Saturday between Micah's and Olivia's soccer games. We had a lovely visit and even went out shopping. Jacqueline found the most beautiful alabaster vase which she gave me for minding the cats all summer. Definitely not necessary, but treasured all the same. We then met up with Stephen and Cathy for dinner. What a treat to meet up again with some of the fabulous people we met during our time in Cairo. Then off to the airport at oh-dark-thirty!
The weather in Berlin is much better than anticipated. 23C is great for sightseeing and touring. As we arrived on Sunday, there was very little open so we went for a walk around Kopenick (a suburb southeast of Berlin) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K%C3%B6penick. We had a light supper beside the Spree River. Between Dale, Jason and me, we were able to order something to eat that ended up being more or less what we thought it would be. At least it was all delicious. With, of course, a huge piece of Schwarzwalderkirschtorte (Black Forest Cake) to finish up with. We sure knew what we were doing ordering that. Today, Dale and Jason are off to a meeting to have some maintenance done on the airplane, which is why we are here in the first place. Jason plans to spend a few days working with the mechanics here (he is the Company mechanic as well as a CJ3 pilot), but Dale will be able to take some time off and we are hoping to get out and about. Today being Monday, Museum's are closed but we'll let you know what we find later.
Bye for now.
Love,
Laurel
