MARK... you HAD to know that that subject line would hook ME!

I "don't get it" (the signifigance) of this image and or place for you or anyone else, so I'm hoping you'll shed some light by sharing some of the memories?

I'm guessing Cyprus, Greek Cypriots vs Turkish Cypriots and Archbishop Makarios stirring it in the middle.

Karmy, that was "Nicosia". "Nicotina" is the one which would hook you...

Errrr, how do you do that?

Nicotina = Night Scented Stock, flowering non-smokable tobacco, does smell nice on a summers evening though.
