To Pasalimani

My parents were here for 3 weeks.  FANTASTIC!!!  To have company is such a treat.  To have family is even better.  I think it is comforting because they can see where you live and how you live.  I was able to show them all the great stuff and they could see the stuff that drives me NUTS!   So it is a win-win.  Three weeks were not nearly enough time, we barely scratched the surface of seeing the island.  I will admit that 5 days of that time was spent on a cruise to the Greek islands (a real treat).

This LO is about one of our first lunches out.  We had gone down to Limossal to walk amongst one of the (many) ancient ruins that are found on the island. Afterward we walked along the boardwalk and found this little taverna by the sea.  We stopped for lunch.  My parents thought it was quiant and kept taking pictures of the grapes.  They thought that they were fake!  I had a big laugh when I explained that they were indeed real and we would probably be drinking them in the house wine and eating them on our fruit plate.  So it was hysterical when the fruit plate came  and piled high was a beautiful mound of grapes that looked exactly like the ones hanging over our head.
