Kyrenia with Kim and Rob

Kim and Rob are good friends from Panama.  In June, they flew down to visit Cyprus (since both are big history nerds, and Cyprus is dripping with history).  In three days, we visited the entire old town of Nicosia, went to the Turkish side town of Kyrenia for a boat ride and castle exploration, and had a great time.

The Crusaders built a huge fortress into the side of the mountain in the 1100s

It was spread over a half mile of mountain range, all of which we climbed

After a day of boating in the Med, we had earned our amazing fish dinner

In Nicosia, we visited a Cypriot Gastropub, and of course Rob got into a long
discussion with the brew master

We also accidentally stumbled upon a solar car race- 200 laps of a 2 kilometer course
