I read ...Ah, no 'Badger In The USA Tour'? <br /><br />I read some about Cyprus after your first story. I tried to find some mapping, and had to settle for Googled Dearth and Wikipedia articles. So the island has a split personality with Turkey as weLL as British military bases. I saw that it has been the center for copper mining since ancient times, and that the name Cyprus may have a 'copper' meaning, it strongly resembles the 'cuprous' adjective. People have been there a very long time, so that probably eXplains the lack of trees.esbbostonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09946279220170973147noreply@blogger.com
