Saturday morning in Nicosia

1. Start with a lovely cup of tea on the balcony

2.  walk by the huge Starbucks that is always busy

3.  appreciate the greenery everywhere, providing a lot of shade on this desert island

4.  wonder, yet again, why and how there are plants growing from the walls of this building- using gray water, maybe?

5.  enjoy the random Greek architecture around the city

6.  rejoice that Laura now lives in Cyprus, so has access to the postal system

7.  get a can of iced coffee from a street vendor, because it's 36 degrees Celsius 

8.  walk by the mens-only backgammon games taking place outside of the market

9.  shop the huge farmers market, and revel in the amount of local produce

10.  bring home this haul for 8 euros total.

9. clean the dirt off of the unprocessed, non-GMO, legitimately produced potatoes
