Hi everyone. Dale is away, but I seem to have a week packed with activities anyway. This evening I attended a musical evening performed by Gurkhas (it helps having the British base so close). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brigade_of_Gurkhas
They have been here in Cyprus for a month, and I managed to see their last performance. It was fabulous. They did a couple of dances as well including some with their famous knives - kukris - rather dangerous looking implements. The band was exemplary with a soprano saxophone solo to rival Kenny G, and a couple of bugle players and percussion guys that were outstanding.
I had best not use up all my glowing adjectives, as on Wednesday evening I am attending The 8th International Pharos Chamber Music Festival right here in Kouklia.
More later.
Love,
Laurel
