Off to Greece

Dear Readers,

Over the next week and a half you will undoubtedly not hear from me as my family and  I travel to Greece and return to Cyprus together to see the sites. I will post some pictures of our trip when I get a chance.

Our itinerary includes:

• Athens
• Boat trip of the Saronic Islands (Poros, Aegina, Hydra)
• Nafplion (with stops along the way)
• Cyprus

Photo of the Day - "Moderno Mini"

I found this shiny Mini Cooper not far from its owner (out of the shot to the left in this photo) and complimented him on his ride. I'm pretty sure it wasn't intentional, but I liked the connection between the classic mini body style and the faded Moderno shoes sign above. It is worth noting that despite the faded sign, the shoe store is still open for business most week days... Although it's selection does not seem to be all that modern.

Photos of the Day - "Young Cyclist"

This young man begged for his photo to be taken near the demonstrations mentioned below in northern Nicosia. I attempted to applaud him on his bike riding but I'm sure it was not understood.
