Dear Mom,
We're in the bottom right picture [the beach at Çirali], enjoying our 3rd full day at the beach. It's got cliffs and uncrowded beaches at least as nice as Oregon - and sunshine and 80 degree water, too! This is a vacation from our travel. We resume tomorrow. The B&B we're at is set amid a garden. Huge marigolds outside the room have their scent wafted past us as we fall asleep.
One highlight of last week was seeing some 13th century frescoes in a church cut from rock.
Love, Tom & Carol

Dear Mom,
Greetings from Cairo! Egypt was tough, but we got the Pyramids at Giza at sunset, w/ the moon & Venus visible - gorgeous!
Egyptian Museum was good too!
Love, Tom & Carol
