Family Arrives


{This blog post was co-written with Elsa's words in Italics.}

If you read my previous post you would have known that my mom, sister, and brother-in-law came out to visit us. I had been tracking their flights from Texas to make sure there were no delays and arrived at the Larnaca airport at 3:30...in the morning! Do they think I don't sleep? But I was so, so excited to see them I really didn't care what time they flew in! We arrived at my house around 5:30 a.m. I told them they couldn't sleep for too long, or they would waste the whole day away and mess up their entire sleep schedule! Once they were refreshed and ready to start their adventure, we spent the next three days visiting some of the same places mentioned in my previous post Cyprus with Friends.



On Saturday we drove the scenic route to Pissouri Bay and took a dip in the cool, clear waters. It was such a refreshing way to spend the hot summer day! Afterwards we had lunch on the beach at a restaurant called Captain's Bay where Ryan and Elsa tried the swordfish. It tasted like tuna! 



Our evenings were the most memorable, when we all got to hang out together at the house. We played card games and video games, swam in the pool, and watched I Love Lucy episodes. Okay, we didn't get to do that too much, thanks to Zach and Ryan, but we did enjoy watching all the Indiana Jones movies. 

Elsa and mom wanted to visit the Kissing Fish Spa, so before our flight to Israel on Monday, we drove to Limassol for them to dip their feet in with the little fishes. We laughed so hard at first; I'm so ticklish! After a while, it just felt like our feet were vibrating. To top off the experience, we received a short massage with warm candle wax. Our feet felt so clean and smooth when we were finished. 




Because recognizable brands are always a welcomed pleasantry to the traveler abroad, we went to TGI Fridays for lunch at the marina. Then, we drove to the airport for our next adventure to...Israel.


If you're ever in Cyprus, try the seaside restaurant Chris Blue Beach. Not only does it offer spectacular views of Curium Beach, but the waffles are pretty yummy as well! Another great place was Cava, where the five of us feasted on the meze, a meal of 10 or so various sides and dishes!
