At the beach
My brother-in-law's awesome ride
It looks and is pretty idyllic. The sea is only 50 yards from the house, and there are sandy beaches with shallow water for yards and yards (good for kids and people scared of the sea) and rocky beaches (good for snorkeling). Unfortunately there is a little to much garbage (i.e. plastic bottles and cigarette butts) lying around. Mick likes to say that Turkey is still in the 70's when it comes to that. And some of the beachfront bars and businesses play music really really loudly, which ruins the tranquility that the area would normally have. Apparently it was relatively quiet because it was Ramadan. All the houses in the area could be taken away at any moment by the government since historical pottery was found in the area. Hopefully we can keep enjoying the place as long as possible.
