Bones--ancient and bruised
Love those cultures upon cultures churches and palaces with their ancient bones, portentous, but forgotten history and fabulous mosaics! However, so sorry about your ankle, Scott--it sounds as if you need a bag of ice for that, not 37 degree heat--yikes. Hope it improves faster than it looks like it will, and I guess you were lucky not to have broken your neck falling down the stairs--double yikes! Best wishes!

My kingdom for a bell
Thanks Tara, In Pafos now and the ankle is on the mend but I think we need a few days with it raised and ice and perhaps a beer or two to heal it. The bruising hasn't come out yet but I can't wait as it is generally very colourful. Shelley as usual has become my slave and I just wish I had a bell. Still thinking maybe of flying to Iceland to get away from this heat.
