Castle

  If you look closely, it looks like Mary was carved into it. Room for the cannons

A cannon that must have hit the wall from a ship below.

  This is a picture of where the used to execute prisoners. They used this up until 1945. Below is the hole where they would hang. I've learned on this trip that the domes for mosques actually came from Byzantine architecture that the Sultans adopted during the Ottoman period. This church is St. Lazarus Church. Very cool.

Airplane Ride and the Beach

Yesterday, we got up at 4:30 in the morning to catch an airplane to a new country. We were very tired. This island is split between two countries. So, we flew into one side and then had to take a taxi to the border. It was funny though, because when we went through the European side, the border control just saw that we were American and waved us through without even looking at our passports. Then, there was an inspector for our bags and he just stuck his hand in mine and let us pass. It was so easy. We also noticed that on the Turkish side there weren't any women. We had a lot of fun on the beach. This beach is much better. Very sandy and not rocky like the other ones we have been to recently. Ds11 made this turtle:

We saw a lot of beautiful nature while walking around, waiting for our hotel room to be ready:

This is a new fruit that I have never seen before. I'm not sure what it is.
