The Trip to Cyprus

I arrived in Cyprus this morning. A buddy and I scheduled a long layover in London so he could check out a Roman helmet he's doing research on. Here are some pics from day 1.
Funny story behind the subway pic (above). I set down my camera next to the edge of the gap and put it on auto to get that picture. The subway security guard freeked out because I placed an object on the ground and then apparently walked out of his sight. He thought it could have been a bomb or something. He was very polite about it, though; apparently I could have been in big trouble. The famous 2500 year old "Discus Man" sculpture at the British Museum.


My buddy closely examining an inscription on the neckguard of a 1st century AD Roman soldier's helmet. It's the real deal.




The view from my balcony. Larnaca, from what I can tell in Day 1, is a pretty cool city, combining both a European mediterranean and Middle Eastern feel.

Peace out. I'll post more as they come!
