Limassol Take One

Just got back from the sunny, coastal city of Limassol. One thing I adore about Cyprus is the terrain. It really makes me feel like I am somewhere besides home...somewhere wonderful and exotic. I'm not sure how well the pictures I have posted capture this fact, but from first hand experience, it is remarkable. To get to Limassol, we took a bus to Old City or Solomoui Square, jumped off the bus and just caught the Limassol bus-the ride is about an hour and 45 minutes. The drive feels like it's 30 minutes though, the landscape is just continuosly beaufitul and interesting. Sometimes there are rolling green hills, agricultural areas, rugged mountains, sandy/rough hills, and it is always captivating. As always, I'm having a hard time posting the pictures, so just put up the ones I got (took over an hour to post these few), so will post more later. As we approached the sea, and I glimpsed the Mediterranean for the first time, I was like a child waiting to meet Santa. I was so excited I was almost in tears! I have never been to another sea besides the East Coast. Once we got to the city, we were quite disoriented and it took a while to get an idea of where we were.  We aimlessly walked down a random street, which turned out to be this lovely square of music, restaraunts, smiling faces, and of course a medieval castle.
