Pictures from Cyprus

Since things were so hectic around here, I was unable to post on my blog as much as I would have liked. I promised I would post some pictures of Cyprus before my return so I think its about time to deliver! I didn't go to as many places as I wanted to, so most of these pics are from a small trip we took with my future in-laws, who gifted us a stay at a beautiful smal hotel and spa with natural sulpher springs.

The weather here was GORGEOUS! 70+F during the day with mostly mild nights.

Beautiful

Those rocks are the birth place of Aphrodite, goddess of love. Our venue is on the hill overlooking this point.

The small resort we stayed at. They've done a great job of incorporating traditional Cypriot style with a modern twist.

Mountain goats. In the first picture you can make out a few more (white specs)

Mr. Milk pondering life's dilemmas

What you see on the hill is a Turkish army camp. One of the very few on the west side of the island.

112 year old tree! Protected by UNESCO.

An old church. If you notice, the dome is a crooked.

A wild mushroom FFIL found

This sweet man owns the coffe shop we stopped to have a drink at. He told us the directions to get to the little church but then decided that he would take us himself. He told us some awesome stories of the area and his life.

And last but not least....

My babies! Babe and Ruffles :)
