troodos

After "living" here nearly three weeks, we finally got to go out exploring yesterday.  We took the little rental car and drove up into the Troodos mountains.  It was glorious!  Did you know that this island is actually capable of fall-like weather? I didn't!  There were leaves changing and brisk autumnal air.  We wanted scarves and light jackets, but since we're lowlanders, didn't plan that far in advance.

Just in case you were wondering, that blue stuff below the really hazy blue stuff?  Yeah, that's the Mediterranean and that is one of the first glimpses of it we've had on Cyprus in the daylight.

Our view from dinner.  Pretty spectacular, right?

We had dinner at a traditional Cypriot restaurant in the mountains.  It was a Greek Cypriot holiday, so the place was cram packed with families.
