AJ’s Discrete Old Old Old Church pictures
The Jackalope wanted me to share these since he wasn’t allowed in to see for himself.
Really, really, old church
We did some more sightseeing in Paphos Tuesday after work. Which means it was so hot my antlers were drooping. (This is a real problem). I wanted to stay back with a cold Keo (beer in giant cans) but AJ said we had to go exploring. We found an old old old old old old…
Cypriot Cats
