After Paul was converted and his name changed from Saul to Paul, Pathos (Cyprus) was the first place Paul taught. Pathos is the capital of Cyprus. The two pictures below show an actor portraying Paul teaching at the ruins of the temple. The actor was fabulous and a surprise to us at this location. It was really touching to watch and listen to him speak to our group.
The temple in the picture above was destroyed by an earthquake.
A beautiful view at the coast of Cyprus..............Below, an example of mosaics.... These mosaics, according to the tour guide, were made by finding stones with the various colors. The mosaics in Pathos are the most famous in the world.
The pictures above and below show you what Pathos looks like today.
I found the cute little purses (above / below) in the shops. I wanted to buy one for each of my granddaughters. Since they were the equivalent of $20 (U.S. dollar), I decided against purchasing three of them. The purses were so cute so it was really tempting though.
Charity was so exhausted. This is one time she didn't protest that I took a picture. This tour had us leaving the ship around 7 am and returning for dinner around 6 pm so we had long days. We all napped when we could while traveling on the bus from sight to sight.
A beautiful view of Cyprus as we were leaving..................
