It actually got weirder because yesterday we visited Nicosia, the last divided capitol in the world, and saw the Green Line there. In most of the country, there's this wide no-man's-land between northern and southern Cyprus. But we were walking down this modern, fairly touristy shopping district and then out of nowhere the country stopped, there was a wall and barbed wire and sandbags and a Greek soldier on duty with (I think) an AK-47. There's a small museum/monument/memorial to the thousands of people who have been missing since the 1974 Turkish invasion. It's very strange and yet hyperreal. David and Katie Pettegrew (asst. director and his wife) crossed over to the Turkish side, but we stayed in the Republic.<BR/><BR/>It's crazy here. Lots of downtime, but the work times are <I>all</I> work. It's great. God, I miss you. And Kass and Deanna and Pete and Anna and everyone. I'm so sick of being away from you guys, for all that I love doing what I'm doing right now. I should be home Thursday night, possibly functional sometime Friday. Would you be up for Rose Tea Cafe next weekend?Sladehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04771082787334736784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31553608.post-59015854078214636012007-05-26T08:56:00.000-05:002007-05-26T08:56:00.000-05:00Holy crap--!

I lose internet access for a week, and You get yourself detained in UN custody for trespassing into a demilitarized zone on Cyprus?????<BR/><BR/>Damn, girl! I just knew some poor shit was going down when I lost access!<BR/><BR/>Well, at least someone came up with a travel tale that beats my "I got detained by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police" story....<BR/><BR/>So, other than causing international incidents, how are you doing?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
