Yeah thanks Iceman...I get a big lump in my throat everytime I see these pictures.

It's such a shame that we don't spend enough time talking about THIS history and instead we're always talking about the 1960s :roll:

I'd never seen pictures this old of Cyprus, it makes me so happy to see these people!!!!

I can't believe I'm not in Cyprus anymore :cry: :cry:

You needn’t worry! That's just a minor side effect called JEALOUSSY when you’re so…

FAR... FAR... FAR... AWAY

…from Cyprus! That's all... 8)

A Dutch lady, in the early 1900s, wrote about the Cypriots: "They build as if they are going to live forever, and they eat as if they are going to die tomorrow". :)
