I thought PT might appreciate this the most. One morning we spotted a tortoise on the road up to our villa, so we moved him out of harm's way. Random acts of kindness, especially towards our animal friends, always does seem to make the day better.





Swimming in the Alara river was definitely a highlight, even though the water was very cold, and the currents took a bit of effort to swim against!



Probably the best day, however, was spent in the Köprülü Kanyon National Park. It took a very long drive to get there, including crossing a rather treacherous Roman bridge, but the views were oh so worth it. We also hired a raft on the river, and all four of us were pulled against the current by a surprisingly strong Turkish lad. He definitely earned his 70 lira!
