After two days at sea, we arrived at our first port, Limmassol, Cyprus. This was a resting place for Crusaders headed for the Holy Lands. The ruins of an ancient castle is full of Christian symbolism and in contrast there is a mosque that served the Moslem community so at odds with the Christians. We loved the bits of surviving pottery that showed how luxurious life could be during the time and were amazed to see two murals that honored our Frida Kahloe. I think she would love to see these paintings of her on such an exotic island.
