home sweet home!
day 1: it was a down day. we needed to recoup from work, from the drive ... just relax! i sat on the patio and read a book start to finish, and everyone else napped. it was fabulous!
day 2: jeep safari! we rode in the back of a jeep as our tour guide took us all throughout the area ... graveyard tombs, fish spawning facilities, waterfall hikes, mud baths, local food ... it was definitely worth the long day!
these are the tombs of someone ... hey i never claimed to be a good listener!
it was at the above location that we met a young turkish kid who spoke very good english. as we were complimenting his english, he announced that he could speak seven languages! our amazement turned to amusement as he rattled off australian, british, irish, etc. he was so much fun to talk to!
who knew a fish spawning facility would be so beautiful? the women were busy making bread ...
susan fell and i wouldn't let her get up until i took a picture. she's cool like that!
day 3: trip to (i can't remember the name). this area is famous for hang-gliding and the beautiful butterfly island. we ended up spending a few days here just walking around and enjoying the scenery.
driving down the hill ...
where you can take your baby hang-gliding!
more scenery for me!
some more stuff happened inbetween ... but my memory fails me at this moment. our last night there, we ate at an outdoor fish market. in the middle were all kinds of fresh fish booths and to the sides were different restaurants to choose from. once you picked your restaurant, you picked your fish and then they cooked it to your liking. the atmosphere was sooo fun ... lights strung everywhere, good live music, people singing and dancing along. this is one of my favorite things about the turkish people!
that's the end. it was such a fun week and cannot WAIT until the next october trip!!
