Hike in the Troodos Mountains

Remember the hotel in 'The Shining?'

We stayed at a lookalike this weekend. In the Troodos mountains of Cyprus. It was full of 1960s charm, and a touch of creepiness.

1950s charm with a permanent radio built into the wall- but no vibrating Magic Fingers

where are the twins?

Old, tall, beautiful trees

this is just pretty, not spooky

Overall, it was a lovely weekend out of the city.  It was 20-30 degrees cooler, which was lovely. And thank goodness, there was not a maze or a SnowCat anywhere on property.

Team building with the kids

Arent the students cute in their team shirts?  And since we were in the mountains, it was in the 80s instead of the 100s. 

Greek yogurt in Greek

Its Fage, the famous Greek yogurt, labelled in Greek characters. 

And what seriously IS the best honey in the world.   With some of the best almonds in the world. 

Every night...

my neighbors have dinner on their patio. I have been trying to emulate them.  But Lulu and I sit for thirty minutes, wheras the neighbors average two hours. 

Sushi in Cyprus

Its good. And within walking distance. And there are a lot of rolls with only fish and vegetables- and no cream cheese in sight!

I was pretty excited about the goodness in front of me.
