Today was better than yesterday which is kinda amazing actually. We did so much that I can't remember all of the details but I can show you some good pictures. First we took the bus on a long journey to the little sea town of Kas which is popular among divers, I walked with an adopted family of mine from the tour around the town. The mother worked there for a few years and remembered some sights...well really one and we looked at it. While we were taking pictures she was shopping for jewelry and got me a necklace as a gift...very nice people. I felt very special. After Kas we went a little sea town of Demre and took a boat to the submerged city of Kekova. It was very cool to see but I couldn't help but think that California could be underwater someday and that is why we recycle...well not in Fetiye but at some posh places in istanbul. Ok then zipped off to Patara for some more beach but this one had waves, it felt like an hour at Catalina. it is funny, the doors open on the bus and we all rush off and into the ocean. We are like cattle and I don't mind right now. Lastly we saw Xanthos which is a village from 6 or 7 bc. Very cool to see and the father of one of my adopted families showed me the plumbing or water drainage to cistens in the old town. anyway the pics will speak for themselves. the one of the water and an object submerged looking like an L is a giant wall...i have no idea from what because I don't speak turkish but it is cool none the less. I have to go to bed, I am exhausted. Love ya
What is it about dads and water drainage knowledge (or at least a need to share it)?! Some things are, apparently, universal. You look happy, which makes me happy.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the card. I just checked the mail and found an exciting surprise from you!
love, liz
I'm loving your blog & want to know what it is that you did so much of that is affecting your memory...hmmm?
ReplyDeleteThese pictures are amazing. I can feel the sun and the water. You are walking in the footsteps of people who were there 2000 years ago, sitting in that stadium, walking the stone steps to the sea. The stories in those places, the families that lived there, the dinners they shared. Odysseous might have stopped there on the way home. I like this tour.
