Reading the Cyprus Mail often brings news a bit too late to be of use. So the info that  dust particles in the air are at a dangerous level and remaining indoors is recommended for susceptible individuals. The date, however, is Tuesday's. Actually the air in Larnaca is never the best. Today's paper also brings the news that last Friday a Turk was found in a Frenchman's boot at one of the border crossings from the North. We crossed the border Friday and they did indeed want to look in the trunk. Not much drama from us though. And we seem to miss most of the excitement - although the account suggests more pathos than anything. Both men said they knew it was illegal but the Turk had only a short time for sightseeing.
