Sunday January 29, 2006 – Sunday, Lazy Sunday

Well we’ve embraced the culture of Cyprus…no need to rush to do anything on Sunday, because pretty much everything is closed. Luckily our local coffee shop and the Cyprus version of 7-11 (So Easy) were open for me to grab a mocha, a couple pastries and an International Tribune. The morning/afternoon was lazily spent watching Cyprus’ tennis savior in the Australian Open, getting our dose of weekly news, watching a movie, taking a nap, and a strolling around the neighborhood.

Since our fridge still looks like we’re in college (two oranges, cheese, a bit of salami, water, milk, and juice) and stores aren’t open on Sundays, we broke down and ordered pizza from a pizza menu (in Greek) that had been put in our mail box. Once delivery guy arrived, we learned that Mammma (three “m’s” are correct) Mia’s pizza is Pizza Hut (evident by the Pizza Hut and Mammma Mia branding on the boxes). The hoodwinkment was even more disappointing when it became evident that Pizza Hut here is no where near as tasty as those sinfully good Pizza Hut personal pan pizza’s from high school days.
