Pure tourist poster time: Sharon enjoying the ultimate Mediterranean fantasy swim.
For about $22, we signed up for an all-day boat trip. We cruised along undeveloped coastlines of small islands and pine-forested mountains, stopping in three or four bays for swim breaks. There was a village with a castle thrown in. And a partially submerged ruin of a Greek city. And lunch. And Turkish tea time with chocolate cake. And chatting with an Istanbul primary school teacher and her daughter (who wants to study “informatik”–excellent!). And a sunset return to the harbor.
Pure decadence, really. If my boss saw this, my sabbatical could be revoked.
