**windy boat ride + salt water + short hair = unfortunate hair in boat trip photos...
when we arrived in bodrum, we almost passed out from the heat. carrying our huge backpacks down the winding streets of bodrum and up a few flights of stairs to our hostels proved to be a trip low-point. we spent a warm quiet evening on the rooftop terrace and ended up sleeping up there for a whopping $6.50!
the next day, we decided to beat the heat by going on a little boat trip. the boat visited five different beaches on the mediterranean, served lunch, and cost about $16 - incredible! while i loved diving off the side of the boat into the clearest water i have ever seen, i may have gone partially deaf from the turkish dance music that was pumped at an extremely loud volume the duration of the trip.
oh mediterranean, i love you.
ps. sad to report that our mini-vacation is finished... kd & i started orientation today at the english immersion day camp that we're working at in istanbul - phew! what long day! my boat trip days seem long behind me...
That water looks incredible. I just want to jump in!!
