Lunch at Demre Finike Yolu, Turkey
We left Cirali in the late morning and took a lazy Sunday drive towards Kas.
The mostly mountainous route on the edge of the sea was scenic and reinvigorating.

A hard day at the vacation office
It’s been a real challenge in Turkey
Looking for that right angle
Or that beautiful sunset
Perhaps a properly ruined ruin
Sometimes a change of scenery was needed
Or a cold Pilsner beer
Maybe a cup of coffee
