Marmaris at night with Deena and TK

Merhaba,

   It’s Memorial Day Weekend in the US. We just celebrated ANZAC day here where both Turkish and Australian soldiers lost their lives.  Many of the enemies of the first two world wars are now allies.  Interesting to think about especially here in Turkey which is a prime example. 

   But on a lighter note….

Marmaris at night with Deena and TK

Our friends Deena and TK treated us to a farewell dinner at Fellini’s last week.  It also gave me a chance to take some final night time photos of the waterfront

And the restaurants all lit up for the evening.

This sign points to the castle on the hill. 

The signs and the castle walls are the only part of the castle we’ll ever see as the museum renovations won’t be completed until after we’ve left.

Randal called it a night but Deena, TK and I stopped at the Sweet Shop  so I could treat us to dessert.  They had a concoction called warm cake and I had a mug of Salep, my now favorite dessert.  (Warm cake is chocolate cake with warm, fudgy chocolate in the center.
