My Mersin Backyard




Narlikuku via Mersinliyibiz on Facebook
 The End of Grade exams are over and my kids are counting down the number of days left this school year. I can just feel summer creeping in between the cloudbursts.

It means less productivity on the writing front, but more days to float around in the pool, mulling over ideas. More chances to lounge in the chaise while I swallow a book whole...

In that spirit, here's a leisurely cruise up the Mediterranean coast to some villages near my old "backyard" in Mersin. (Beta readers: There's a flash of Narlikuyu and Aykar - and Kizkalesi, of course.) Enjoy!

    A nice way to start a Friday--and seeing Kizkalesi in real life after reading about it is very cool.

    That water doesn't look real. I'd love to visit.
    Enjoy the leisurely days of summer!

    I can't wait for summer! One more week for me. My daughter graduated high school today . . . and has a French IB final exam on Monday. :(
