Relaxing in Boynuz Buku

It has been a busy July, so we are spending time in Boynuz Buku hanging out, swimming, sleeping, and just generally being on summer holidays. Boynuz Buku will be the furthest east that we go in Turkey. Once we leave we will be heading back towards Bodrum and the final countdown to the end of our adventure. The boys are looking forward to it. They keep a special calendar on the wall that counts down the days until we leave for Canada. Every morning they get up and mark off another day in red. I'm ready to head back to Canada, but I will be sorry to see the end of our adventure and I'm in no rush to start back to Bodrum.

Kevin Cooking Dinner

Kevin, Allen, and I went into shore this afternoon. There is a restaurant there and while each of us had a drink we played a game of crib together. Back onboard Dragonsinger, Kevin volunteered to make dinner. We have always encouraged all of our children to cook with us and it is rewarding to see them confident in the galley. Kevin makes lamb with Uncle Ben's curry sauce and potatoes -- one of our favorite dinners.
