We brewed beer today! Jackalopes serve in a supervisory role of course

The Sanctuary of Aphrodite
The myth goes that Cyprus was the birthplace of Aphrodite. There was a significant pilgrimage and cult worship complex for millennia near Pafos. So of course a Jackalope has to check that out. I had a few words with the Aphrodite and she gave me some tips for the lady’lopes.
Tombs of the Kings
I had recovered enough by Wednesday afternoon to accompany AJ to the Tombs of the Kings.
Building a beer kiln
Cornwallis, reporting in! I’m helping with the straw for the mud-brick! First level is done and marked with a Jackalope Butt-Print. Everyone is waiting with their mud-bricks to put the next layer on.

Li’lope reporting for duty
