First Cyprus Photos!

Context:
On Friday, my first full day here, we (Bill, Dave, John, Megan, Mara, and I) went on a walking tour of the town of Larnaka and some cool old shit within its boundaries. These include: the Church of St. Lazarus (alleged resting place of that Biblical Lazarus guy), its attending Byzantine museum, a very comfy-feeling local mosque, and the Mediterranean Sea. In more site-seeing later in the day, outside of Larnaka, there were: an ancient Byzantine church with amazing artwork and the Sultan Halal Tekke Mosque, which was lovely. Good day.

There are also a couple of photos from the roadtrip to the Nebulas with Diane and Mike, and more from NYC with Anna.

Photos are here, at my Flickr account.

And photos from the Nebulas with me in them are:
here (no dress),
and here (no dress),
and here (no dress),
and here (photos I may have
taken: three in the middle of the authors at tables, including their
name tags)
,
and here (still no dress),
and finally HERE (CRAPPY SHOT OF DRESS -- also of me being Very Obviously Oogled in a manner that makes me feel very uncomfortable, esp. since it's on the nets at a well-respected site).

And that's today's photo post! Enjoy.

Also, we have icons and censers that look exactly (or very, very similar) like those in my church, and all Orthodox churches I've been in.

"She's amused because of squaretangularity. I'm amused because the only photos of her that exist are ones she took of herself. This is an example: my camera, her photography."

Did I take that picture? Man, I iz so ugly in it, why did I keep it?

Also, if you wouldn't mind blacking out the addresses on the boxes - I don't want my mom getting random ass crap in the mail.

THX.

I just deleted the photos with the address on. I'll black them out when I get home and then put them back up. Have you checked my new post? Because it's prolly the most exciting one I'll have for the rest of the year.
