Guess what?  We are not freezing in Delaware.  We were when we first got here, but the last couple of days it has been 18C.  There is a flash flood warning for tonight, but hopefully it will be cleared up enough for our flight to Comox tomorrow.  Especially since it becomes sleet and snow on our way through Toronto.

Dale has enjoyed his ground school and simulators while I have been shopping and trying to get ahead with my Greek lessons.  It is a bit difficult since the instructions for each lesson are also in Greek - thank goodness by my Greek/English dictionary.  One of my purchases while here is the Rosetta Stone language course.  I figured I would supplement my lessons with this, since I have been finding it such a struggle.  I don't even remember having to learn definite/indefinite articles, the genitive/possessive, or the accusative in English.  Now we are working on the past tense.  Hopefully it will click soon.

Shopping, though not my cup of tea, has been worth it.  Prices here are very competitive, especially with the Canadian dollar being as strong as it is.  And I have started on my list of things that I can not get in Cyprus (or will not buy because of the price - vitamins being the worst).  Funny things like vanilla extract are not to be found; while sheets and blankets are all of a different size.  

So, as you see, all is well, and we are so looking forward to our visit to Comox.  I will probably fill you in on all that once we get back to Cyprus.  Take care and bye for now.

Love,

Laurel
