Beautiful Sunday on the Mediterranean

Last night's movie wasn't in regular theater seats. Oh, no, they, of course, had to be in white lounge chairs and deck chairs. Bags of popcorn were given at the door. English with Turkish subtitles, of course.


And here's dinner in the all red restaurant!






Today we went out for a driving tour of Antalya, mostly, it turns out, to see ALL the VERY fancy hotels lining the shore. It looks like Miami Beach. Here is Thamir, our congenial guide, in our hotel lobby..err lounge. It turns out he is Iraqi, Turkish mother, Father was a general in the Iraqi army and he married a Turkish woman and moved to Antala because Istanbul was too darn cold! (I got all this info from him in the first hour by asking him how he came to live in Antalya - the company's guys who had met him previously hadn't known any of this. I ask questions!







A gorgeous waterfall into the aquamarine blue Med!!


And Soon Seng and I are at the beach behind the hotel





See our hotel behind me:


More tomorrow! The Iraqis arrive early this a.m. and the training begins in earnest. My friend Sidney arrives from Boulde tomorrow to hang out with me!
