Hi there,
Continuing on with the whirlwind - my neighbours Mike and Roz had us all over for drinks and snacks on Sunday evening to meet Jeffrey - their dog. He is very spoiled, but lovely none-the-less. The kids really enjoyed sitting chatting in their garden, under the arbor.
Monday, I took Adam and Natalie down to Paphos Harbour for Kataclysmos - a holiday to celebrate the flood. While at the harbour, Natalie and I found some lovely prints at the art gallery, and Adam got me two for my Birthday - they are very Mediterranean. The harbour has been renovated and is lovely for walking so off we went. I also found a pottery jug to collect water (instead of it pouring down the sink when you are waiting for it to get hot - severe water shortage still). Next was the market, very quaint and a great place to pick up souvenirs, and of course the mandatory stop at Ayia Kyriaki and St. Paul's Pillar. After spending the afternoon by the pool, we had dinner out in Mandria, a small village not too far from ours, then back to Geroskipou for Mini-golf. (It was more relaxing than it sounds.)
Adam and Natalie spent a few hours at the water-slides on Tuesday, so I re-stocked the groceries and did a couple of errands in town. They took the rest of the day off, although Adam managed to make dinner (he was very good at making breakfast and dinner - I quite enjoyed not cooking all the time and they quite enjoyed the Mediterranean food).
Dale phoned that evening to invite me to New York, and after much agonizing (the house is a mess and I had just got groceries), I decided to go for it. So off the kids went for a couple days in England before returning to Comox, and off I went to New York . . . more to come on that.
Bye for now.
Love,
Laurel
