I think of you often and wish you were here to share this moment. I know you would appreciate the beauty and tranquility of this place just as much as I do. Maybe one day we can visit Paphos together and enjoy these sunsets side by side.

(If you don’t have a grill, you can use a frying pan or oven, though the flavor won’t be quite the same.) 4. Remove the meat from the skewers and serve on a plate. It's great with pita bread. A pretty good drinking snack has been completed, but my lonelin...
