111 degrees Fahrenheit in Cyprus!!

hi, everyone. we are passing lazy days in cyprus, catching up with reading, sleeping, and swimming. robby has been making delicious pasta for the past 3 days. yesterday he grilled lamb chops on a pan, and we fed the pieces of fat to the resort's cats. yesterday's temperature got as high as 111 degrees fahrenheit, so we stayed in and read all day before heading out later. we've been very good about eating in - both of us are tired of eating out and eating döner kabaps, which is what we in america call 'shwarma' (spelling?). we have them in pita wraps and in frech rolls. turkish people eat frech rolls with everything. it just sits - sliced - there on the table.

i got severely nauseated from the ferry from taşucu to girne (cyprus), so i'm a bit wary about getting on the ferry again when we leave cyprus on sunday. but this time, i'll be armed with dramamine, which i will be taking again when we take our cruise from olympos to fethiye. people tell us that the 4-day cruise is one of the best parts of turkey, so i am determined to get on the boat and NOT get sea sick.

we'll email again from mainland turkey.
i hope it's not as hot back home as it is here!

1. Robby makes lambchops & pasta.
2. We love the inflatable ring when we get tired of treading water.
3. Robby dives into the pool like a pretty ballerina.
