Bus Ride

The highlight of our weekend was a bus ride!  The kids had never been on a bus before and they have been wanting to go for a ride.  There is a bus stop less than a half mile from where we live that ends in downtown Nicosia.  It wasn't too long of a ride, maybe because of the speed that the driver was going.  They both thought it was quite fun.  While downtown we walked around for a bit and then stopped for some ice cream.  Also this weekend, we celebrated our niece Evelina's third birthday with a party at their house.  There was a carnival theme so all of the children were in costume.  Earlier in the week Demetris and I actually got to go out for a movie.  The Fulbright Commission along with the US Embassy sponsored a special showing of the movie Lincoln.  We enjoyed it very much.
