Surrived day one of Cyprus

We landed in Cyprus last night, got checked into the hotel, turned a blind eye to the roaches (or whatever they are), put the food I brought with me into the fridge (in hopes that the cold + being sealed in plastic containers would keep it safe from the little critters who were here before we arrived), had a meeting with the students, did yoga, and managed to get to bed before midnight.

This morning we started out at 08:00 and headed for the hills (after a stop at the grocery store to buy food for lunch). We spent all day in the mountains looking at various parts of the ophiolites, starting with the deep mantle rocks, and ending the day in the cumulates. Once I am home and can more easily get photos off the camera I will try to remember enough to do a blog post about the geology.

It is now 22:25, so time to do my yoga and get some sleep before we go back out tomorrow to look at more rocks, perhaps some pillow basalt. Five more days to go...
