September 5, 2008 - Cyprus

We arrived in Larnaca about 3o minutes late last evening. Liz was waiting and waving to us as we exited customs. After short walk to her car, a few minutes trying how to pay for the parking, and we were on our way. We are staying with George's sister and her husband. George is Liz's husband. It was late by the time we got to the home, later still by the time we got our luggage to the roof top guest room, and we did not spend too much time talking. Liz left, we unpacked and headed to bed.

Up around 8, showered, had a nice breakfast on the deck outside our room. Liz collected us for a day of sightseeing - the Presidential Palace and the Cypriot Museum where artifacts from 10,000 BC show just how old this island is. The extensive history of this very old island is displayed in chronological order through archeological artifacts. While visiting the museum, Anita began feeling the affects of either an inner ear problem that developed during our flight yesterday or some bug she picked up in Cairo. In either case, the best thing to do was to come back to our room and let her rest. She had some meds to take, and I have spent the afternoon at the computer getting caught up on the Blog - hope you all have enjoyed the plethora of information in one day.

I'm about ready to go back upstairs to see how Anita is doing, and begin getting ready for the wedding party. Liz plans to pick us up around 8 pm and take us to the party. I hope Anita is feeling better because I know she is looking forward to this evening.

Here are some photos of Liz and her family - in order, left to right, up to down....

Talk with you more tomorrow.
