A few months ago, I saw a call for volunteers to help with TedX Nicosia. I am so glad that I got involved with this positive, supportive, optimistic group of people. I think I'm the only non-Cypriot in the group, but they are all so welcoming and awesome.
Today, TedX Nicosia organized a historical bike tour through the Old Town to promote the big TedX conference in two weeks. It was called Wheels and Traces. The Dutch Embassy was a co-sponsor (of course, b/c as I learned today, there are more bikes than people in Holland), as was the city of Nicosia. It was a great event, full of interesting history, and I'm so glad that I played a small role in it.

station built into the wall, at the site where a church was destroyed by the
Venetians while constructing the wall for protection
