It's been a wild couple of days. A couple of girls I hadn't met yet went with me to search out different spots around town, and we were supposed to meet up with the rest of the kids in our program at some restaurant. Sounds good, right?
We got sooooo horribly lost.
We even ended up at the wrong restaurant.
Luckily, we ended up at the place that has been labeled by a few magazines as having the best meze in Nicosia.
And oh my god was it amazing. SOOOOOO much food. We even had snails, and one of the girls screamed when she pulled it out of the shell (they're very ugly out of the shells). Meze is not one food, when you order meze, its the entire meal-- they bring out a ton of traditional food-- cold appetizers, hot appetizers, main dishes, deserts, coffee... just mountains of food. we had to pile platters on top of other platters and a little side-table because we couldn't fit it all. It was a good mistake. ... plus the waiters were really cute...
Speaking of the food, my roomie and I have been blaming it for the weird dreams we've all been having.
We went to Troodos the other day, the mountains, and had great Cyprus coffee, went exploring, got lost, went to the wine capital of the country, and of course got a few souvenires and a lot of great pictures. Since my camera is broken, basically everyone here is really sweet to me, handing me their cameras so I can take pictures, and then allowing me to upload them onto my computer. Unfortunately, the internet is slow and sketchy here, so it's hard to put them on facebook, and nearly impossible to put them on this site. I'll try again...eventually. Hey, I've been
We've gone out every night, except tonight because I'm just exhausted. I spent all day lazing about because no one had the energy to do anything.
