April 30, 2026  Because it's low season, we had to wait until they could round up 6 passengers. This took a couple days. The bus ride on the winding roads wasn't a good start to my day, so instead we drove 40 min to Üçağiz Village to catch our boat, the Domino.    picture perfect day  Aquarium Bay--too chilly & breezy for us to swim Aquarium Bay, too breezy and cool for us to swim   Shipyard Bay, where historical ruins from Ancient Roman Byzantine ruins still stand was the first place we swam. It was a unique feeling to swim over building ruins from Roman times.       Roman ruins  Byzantine ruins Know how to tell the difference?

 April 25, 2026    The reason we chose to drive from Cappadocia to Kas was to see two Archeological Sites: Sagalassos  and Termessos . Happy we did, both are very special places. Because we drove, we have seen so much more and meeting friendly & kind people along our way than if we have flown to Kaş.

    April 2026 Note: I'm going to add regularly to this since we're here for a week    Spring here is not as exuberant as we experienced in Cappadocia and along our drive to Kaş.  However, walk provide an abundance of discovery.      cars I've never seen     I walked upon a farmers market early Thus AM and this woman was so kind, communicating greetings by blinking/holding her eyes closed a bit longer.  And her smile!  She also opened an orange that had red inside and was the sweetest ever.      early morning light on mosque  Turkish flags are everywhere! I don't recall every seeing this density in the US fire station     Spurge Hawk-moth   cemetery    I learn from sign. Here in Turkey, it's paket, not to go or take away. I also learned that paket servis is delivery.
