It is 3:30 Saturday afternoon here, POURING POURING, I mean POURING rain, like we never get in Bellingham, and nice and cool, after a muggy morning. My comfort range is pretty narrow: 68-70 degrees, so I felt a little warm this morning, not sure what the temp was. My patio door, with the requisite white lounge cube on the deck, is open and I can see the beautiful people on the treadmills and bikes in the workout area below. We switched rooms this morning. The people in Lux who set up the hotel for Steve's training probably thought I might like a HC room because I walk with a cane. I don't really need one and the huge rails around the toilet and the shower that was just a seat in a square with a drain was awful. The great room with the view of the Mediterranean was going to be $65/night more so we couldn't do it but we do have a peekaboo view from the edge of the patio! And the advertised in room wireless Internet is not free (as it was in Prague). But I am not going to be w/o for 2 weeks while Steve is working, so we paid up.

I haven't yet been out of the hotel and it has taken me all day to figure out where I'm walking (yes, mom, carefully) in the labyrinth hallways (hey, I have 2 weeks) but tomorrow we're getting a tour of Antalya from (Steve says)the charming father, our age, of the kid who met us at the Istanbul airport with our tickets to Antalya.

There's a happy hour at 5 and a scary Halle Berry/Bruce Willis movie that I normally would never see but, whatever,at 9.

Now it's 6:30, we're getting ready to go down to our first trendy dinner!

More soon.

Mom, Did you know you can make picture bigger by clicking on it?
