Beach and Bodrum

July 20, 2012

From never ending wedding to never ending beach - it has been non-stop days of fun and relaxation with the gang mostly sitting on the beach and trying to survive the 100+ temp along with some boat trips and castles for good measure.   And let's not forget the grand re-opening of the biggest night club in Turkey - complete with pop stars and acrobats! 

Day 1 - The gang at the beach in Bodrum.

Nate, Tiffany and Novi at our courtyard at Hotel Gulec...

and Tony, Evin and her father . . .

Leule, Ray and Dawn...

and Tron and Neutron complete happy hour.  Note Tron's face - now note Neutron's hand behind his head where she smacked him - deservedly so!

Nate, Rebecca, me and Novi relaxing on the beach bean bag chairs enjoying hookah.

Day 2 - The gang opts for a day boat trip!  Isn't this what happened to Gilligan?

A Flock of Seagulls . . . not the band.

Boat life on the lower deck. 

Boat life on the upper deck.

Synchronized Floating . . . the newest Olypmic Sport.

TADA!!!!  Did you fıgure it out???

After a hard day of boating we needed a nice dinner ... table on the sand of course!

After a hard night of eating we needed to go back to the bean bag chairs for digesting . . . on the sand of course!

The grand re-opening of Turkey's hottest night club.  Why don't night clubs in America have giant balloons wıth acrobats doing flips??? 

Kelis!!!  "My milk shake brings all the boys to the yard . . ."

Day 3 - Bodrum Castle, which is an underwater musuem.

Tyler and I checking out a castle window.

Sea glass recovered from a wreck off the coast of Bodrum.

Jill and me at the top of the castle.

Turkey Pride!!!!

Good thing there were no archers below.

 

The hull of a boat brought up from the Agean Sea, only discovered in 1977.

Day 4 - Moto ride with Novi.  You can see I dressed appropiately.  Whoops.

And the rest of our last day in Bodrum (so sad) was spent lounging by the beach (so good).
