Our Home in Cyprus


Well, we finally have internet access, so we can keep you a little more updated on our life here. We have enjoyed a very hot summer. It was in the 100s (F) nearly every day in July and August. It's finally starting to feel like autumn now. We have views of two mountain ranges from our house, the Troodos and the Kyrenia. Everything is extremely dusty here. We have to spray off our porches and outdoor furniture constantly. It's been blue skies nearly every day since June. We have had rain twice in four months. The Cyproits desalinate seawater for drinking water, so no immediate fear of that drying up. We have terassio and tile floors throughout our house. We spend a lot of time in our large kitchen, which has a glass door to the covered veranda. I've enjoyed adding a bit of color outside with plants and herbs. As long as you water things here, they grow like crazy. We'll see how long I can keep them alive through the winter. Caleb loves playing outside. We have a baby pool for him to swim in and he has a sandbox under the car port (our car is to big to park under it). We go out many mornings and I (Emily) water the plants and Caleb runs around up and down the steps and through the flower beds.
