Just to let you know that we are still alive and keeping busy. Dale and I won (2 bottles of wine) at bridge last week but couldn't pull it off again this week. But thats ok since we haven't managed to finish off the first wine yet. Saturday we were out at Episkopi Station - the British Army Base. They hosted a wonderful event with many exhibitions; unfortunately for Dale, I think it was too windy for the RC planes. The parajumpers were fantastic though, managing to land on their target in spite of the wind. It was still a bit hot, so we jumped into the pool as soon as we got home. We were joined by a Collared Mourning Dove, who sat contentedly on the side of the Jacuzzi while Dale swam about and I took its picture.
We tried a new restaurant that evening with Maureen and Jonathan called the Akava. It was just past the really busy tourist area of Tombs of the Kings and was run by a Scottish lady. The special of the day was T-bone steak, which isn't something that Cyprus is famous for, but we were promised that it would be good - and it was. What a pleasant surprise.
Ken celebrated his 6oth on Sunday with a party by their pool and Lesley put on a wonderful buffet supper. His good friend Derrick came down from the UK to entertain us with some excellent singing and keyboarding. It was a great party.
Last night we drove up to Latsi for an evening boat cruise and BBQ. Tim and Susie did all the organizing, we just had to show up with bathing-suits and snacks. The sea is now warmer than our pool and Dale was thankful that the boat hada freshwater shower at the stern. They anchored at a lovely little bay they call the Blue Lagoon. You can see the beautiful white sand through the pristine water. Afterwards we had a very tasty meal then cruised back in the moonlight. A good time was had by all.
I am now going to sign off as I have a bit to do to get ready for our trip to Israel on Friday.
I will fill you in on that early next week.
Take care.
Love,
Laurel
