Here is the group I was traveling with. Left to right:
Timo, Luis-Paolo, Erik, Alan, & Mashhuda.

This was taken early in the morning on the first day
of the symposium, and it was probably pushing 80 degrees
out and 90% humidity.

Registration the following morning.

Nora (left) coordinated everything, and did a fantastic
job.

Dinner with Dominique, Helge, Celine, Mashhuda, and
Franco.

The next evening, we were treated to a guided tour of
the old part of Nicosia.

Some of the old houses were very nice, but a bit delapidated.
Newer homes looked delapidated, too.

A church, I'm guessing. (I sure wasn't listening.)
P6271508.JPG
Helge wasn't fond of the heat.

This was a restored something-or-other and won some
award. I heard that much.

Mosque Minaret
This minaret tower was tacked onto a Greek Catholic
church, and blared prayers at us for about 10 minutes
at sunset.

This was a challenging HDR to take, and I lost my group
taking it. Luckily, I guessed correctly which street
they went and caught up with them where we had our dinner.

Our table was luckily chosen to hit the buffet line
first.

The fortunate ones.

The less fortunate ones.

Alan was organizing the usual rendition of Monty Python's
"Philosopher's Drinking Song." I think he was looking
for someone who knew the words, and eventually found
Szimon, and copied them onto a napkin. Mashhuda then
copied them to something more legible.

The lucky table also got treated to a special cake,
baked for someone who had a birthday but hadn't made
it. Helge won with the closest date (June 23rd if I
remember right).

At the close of the symposium, Alan awarded the organizers
with signed football jersies. Here is Yorgios getting
his.

And Danny getting his (sorry about the focus).
