Agia Napa !

Kathy, Jenée and Jackie have been doing a lot of catching up. Syria is 100 miles behind.

That is Israel over Jenée's left shoulder, about 120 miles away. Lebanon is over her right shoulder, about 70 miles away. Both are great sailing destinations we may try later. We've run into many Lebonese and Israelis at our Larnaca Marina - all very nice folks. Turns out Larnaca is a favorite destination of both.

This is a little cove set up like a pool. We waded in and peed, just like a pool.

Jenée and I strolled around the beach at Agia Napa - very pretty.

Upon return to Agia Napa we were able to eat again! Demetris friend Linka from Abu Dhabi has joined us.

Such a night we had. Andreas loaned me his car to return to Jungle - a spent man! The next day I dropped the girls off at the beach at Agia Napa (I-ah napa) and took a bus back. Lovely bus route! I got to see all 50 stops on the way - winner!

This is the ultimate specialty called Kleftiko (clef-tee-ko) which translates into "stolen meat". Centuries ago, tribesman would steal a lamb and put it at the bottom of a pit. They would then build a fire over the top so it would look like a campfire - no meat! The result would be a wonderfully roasted lamb as shown above with potatoes. (Of course with bread and Greek salad) Only lamb and potatoes, nothing else in the pan. Andreas has a special made oven in his back yard to properly roast the meat, including mud used around the door to seal in the oven.

Barbeque man was in tears as he sampled the best tasting meat in his life! I hand my magic barbeque tongs to Andreas. There can be only one king!

Lovely dinner! Demetris parents, Artemas and Andreas invited us over for a home cooked specialty. This is souvla (soove-lah) roasted lamb on a skewer. The box keeps the wind from blowing the ashes on the meat. Barbeque Man got down on one knee and gave thanks.

Lovely ladies...

Time for the beach! First up is Proteras (pro-ter-ahs) at the southeastern tip of Cyprus. Lovely beach, lovely day ...
