Who Ordered This Hike....

1 November ’04, Monday. Here we are in Turkey, a day before election day for the President of The United States, and all we hear on the radio is election news. This would seem like we were back home listening, but lucky for us, it is all in Turkish and we can only understand the names of those running. I’m sure when it is all done, and the announcement has been made, we will know immediately who was chosen for the next 4 years. Today was another tough day at sea side. I did do some light washing of clothes and “Bumble Bee” while Lou gave herself a pedicure…I know, life is tough…. I think that I mentioned that we are having to move on tomorrow, as this campground is closing until next season. It is going to be a busy place for a few months as they are going to completely rebuild everything. It is going to be a “Destination Resort” for campers. They will be building new bungalows, a large swimming pool (next to sea side), fantastic landscaping, a large restaurant, and doubling the size of the campground it’s self. A big project to say the least. I was in “Bumble Bee” reading last night, and Louise was outside playing some games on her computer, when she received a visitor. The managers wife, Sibil, dropped by. What a lovely young lady. Unfortunately, while her husband is on a site for construction, she has to commute to visit him from Istanbul. Her English was wonderful, as she had a chance to live in England for a couple of years. We all enjoyed the evening. Yesterday Louise and I put our walking shoes on and went out to see a waterfall (wasserfal). We were able to walk from the camp. It took us about 3 ½ hours, in 80 degree weather. While we were in the shadows of the canyon, it was very nice, but in the sun….it got warm. It really was a great hike, and the waterfall was really quite beautiful. It wasn’t very large as waterfalls go, but otherwise quite beautiful as I mentioned. The day before we did somewhat of a dry run to find our way the next day, and we stopped into this wonderful little restaurant for a beer. It is called Ali’s Garten Restaurant. Ali’s father has a wonderful “Green Thumb”, her mother is a great cook, and Ali is just wonderful in being with her customers. The tables are all set into separate little areas that are surrounded and covered with plants, trees, and shrubs of all kinds. Those that produce fruit are fully laden with their crop….it is special. This afternoon we went into Kemer to go shopping at the farmers market and grab a little lunch. While having lunch, a couple from England sat next to us. Their story started out as an 18 month trip on their 33 foot sailboat…it’s lasted 7 years….yep, that’s how it starts for all of us. They will spend this winter here in Kemer. Tomorrow….moving day
