Photos courtesy of the Cyprus Mail show fairly dramatic pictures of mud and flooding north of us. We’ve had rain on and off all day, but nothing like the scenes depicted. Mostly large puddles forming and eventually dissipating in areas of slow drainage. Famagusta referred to here is not the city in the North, called Famagusta by Greek speakers and Gazimağusa by Turkish. It’s the district of Famagusta, entirely within the Republic of Cyprus (the South). Much of the soil here has the Prince Edward Island red appearance, notable on the potatoes, which are often sold unwashed. And swept into the sea by heavy rains and strong winds it has turned the waters red.
