Snow in Cyprus

Hard to believe, but snow can be found in Cyprus. It was a beautiful, warm day but we decided to head to the Troodos mountain region to see some snow. Most of the island very rarely sees any snow, but the tops of the mountains can get a good amount. We drove to the top of Mt. Olympus, which is the highest point in Cyprus, and then stopped at a "picnic area" to let the kids play. They had a good time and even managed to hit me with a few snowballs.  We stayed only for a short time since we really weren't dressed for the cold. Cypriots, including our family, think we are crazy for wanting to be in the snow. Boston trained us well.
