Pull Off Your Sandals, And....

25 October ’04, Monday. Yesterday was one of those days that were just made for kicking back. I had a little more laundry to do in the morning, but after that, we both found our “easy chairs” and made the best of use out of them. We both have good books that we are enjoying, so mixed with the great weather, and wonderful campground, we seem to have it made. In the late afternoon, we walked across the street from the campground, pulled off our sandals, and walked the shoreline of the Black Sea. Now it was a beautifully warm day, but I probably wouldn’t have gone into the Sea to swim…well, I didn’t, but there were a few of those who’s blood is a lot thicker than mine who did. As it was, this walk was one of absolute beauty. I’m glad we put the Black Sea on the agenda. And this campground, it seems to be magical and the people that own and run it are the greatest, although our communication was done only by smiles, hand gestures and words, that only the speaker knew what was said. After our walk, we pulled out the barbeque and set ourselves up with a great early dinner of hamburger patties and the most delicious squash. We are doing it right. Speaking of doing it right….we initially had reservations about Turkey, as it was really hard to find anyone who had made the journey before us, and all we had was the travel books to deliver all of the “travel” information to us. Unfortunately, the travel books are out dated almost as soon as they hit the presses. If it wasn’t for the email that we got from Bonnie and Doug saying that this was were they wanted to meet us, we might not have made it. What a terrible mistake that would have been. We have now been in Turkey for over 3 weeks, and traveled quite a lot of the country. We have been in the largest city, and we have been in some of the smallest villages. We have even been in one of the largest “party towns” Turkey has to offer. We have flown in hot air balloons, we have been to 3 Seas, and 2 straights, and now, we have made the decision to stay in Turkey for at least another month or more. We will stay here until sometime in December, and then travel to Greece for Christmas and the New Year. Turkey has offered us the friendliest people, great hospitality, wonderful food, beautiful country sides to visit, unmatched history, good roads to travel on, and unfortunately the highest gas prices.
This afternoon we arrived back in Istanbul. We have a doctors appointment in the morning and then back on the road heading south/southeast. We dropped into Angels Home Hotel and saw everyone there again. It seems that we left our radio/cd player there last time. Hakan tried to email us, but Louise had given him the wrong address, but everything worked out. Thanks again Hakan, we thought we had lost it sometime after our stay with you, but getting it back was a wonderful surprise. Angel’s Home Hotel has been like a personal home to us from our 1st week in Turkey, and I guarantee that it wont end there…. www.hotelangelshome.com
Tomorrow….more good things
