Omodos Village 4.21.09

Fun with Melissa in Omodos!
My friend Melissa took me to a very cool village called Omodos - very cute and it's definitely turned into a tourist destination...it's amazing that people live in the houses that you will see as you scroll down. This is Cyprus grass roots.
Ya, we got in trouble...the guy on the phone in the background yelled, "Are you 10?!" I guess you have to be 10 or younger to have fun. We jumped off after our picture. What you can't see is that Melissa's donkey was moving...classic.
View of Omodos driving down to it.
Wineries galore...it's amazing how many grape vineyards there are.

A common site, grapevines act as shade when they have their leaves.

Very Greek.
Greek Orthodox Church


This says, "Christos Anesti" - Christ is Risen.
Ancient Greek Bible
Pews.


Doors and feet...I like them both.




This is a seriously narrow "street" - I can picture a Smart Car cruising through here, but you better believe they drive normal size cars...don't open the door!
I just thought this was so cool sitting out in the middle of the "street."
I have to be in some of the pictures...right?
I just wonder what goes through all of your heads as you look at these pictures...I always laugh when I'm typing this stuff.
Wine press equipment.
My favorite entry way in Omodos...just liked the whole look of it.
Newer lodging...it probably costs a ridiculous amount to stay here.
Melissa on the old truck. Maybe you can help me figure out the make below.
EDFORD? Dad, Tanner, is that a make that you've heard of? Ed's Ford...HA!


Cyprus is full of villages...so many cute little towns with so much character. Thanks Melissa for giving me another glimpse of the beauty of Cyprus. I hope you all enjoyed! - Linz
