Time for a new adventure! (with photos!)

  Interesting!  When I copy from Word and paste into Blogger, it comes in as a photo and has to be enlarged!  And it's fuzzy and hard to read!  Guess I won't be doing that any more!! WOOHOO!  I finally was allowed to submit my CyprusFlightPass!!  Slowly but surely everything is coming together!!  YAY!! Well it's now the evening of the 27th;  but it all seems like one very long day!   The flight from Tampa to Newark actually had had a little bag o'snacks!  A plastic bag with a bottle of water, a bag of buttery pretzels and a Stroopwafel!  United gets extra credit for the Stroopwafel! Not so much extra credit for the Newark Airport.  I had to change terminals and the directions to the air train were very goood;  but the gate had been changed and it required me to go upstairs and wander before I found someone who could give me a new and different boarding pass for the next two flights.  Then it was back downstairs a...

What new adventures await??

 05-29-21, Saturday It's another clear, beautiful morning!  Yoga and such out of the way and it's time for breakfast for me and espresso and pastries for Ammar.  This morning's offerings included little baby spanakopita!  It sure is easy to get used to this idea of breakfast, and it lasts all day.

I checked my phone just now and found that we walked five miles yesterday!  And yoga was pretty tough this morning!  Getting massages is an even better idea than it was yesterday when Ammar first suggested it.  We were actually looking for a Turkish bath, but they seem to only be in Nicosia, so a massage...

Beautiful Day!

 05-28-21 Friday It's a beautiful day here in Larnaca!  Clear blue skies and the promise of new adventures! I have time in the morning for yoga and adding photos to yesterday's blog before I wake Ammar for breakfast, up on the sixth floor.  We're the only guests up there for most of our meal.  It is a buffet (like in the good old days!) with everything I've come to expect in this part of the world.  Several kinds of meats and cheeses, cucumbers and tomatoes, mushrooms, beans, cooked tomatoes, pork sausage, scrambled eggs, bacon, lots of pastries, including pain au chocolat, other breads, fresh orange juice, a magic coffee machine and fresh fruit!!  The young lady tells us we can also have fried eggs or an omelet!!  Afterwards Ammar asks if she has espresso and the tiny cup of  instant wake-up juice appears. Back in our room we gather our things and head out for the morning.  We're going exploring! First we head to the beach to see the ships i...
