End of Turkey/Greece trip

Refugees outside the Greek coast guard, with their confiscated boats.  They leave Turkey at night to cross into Greece on boats that are not always so seaworthy.  

We had a day drive around the island, and saw lots of beautiful buildings along with the scenery

Finding sealife was a big activity for us on the island

Up to one of the mountain villages, very beautiful and great views

We took a walk on tracks through the olive and grape fields in the mountains, until the heat was too much

Great salad with a big chunk of feta, fried succhine, mousaka, souvalki--one of the best meals yet!

Great place to explore the sea

The boys spent a while collecting hermit crabs

Walk up a path on the island that took us to an old chapel, some castle ruins, and some nice gnarled trees

Back in Istanbul, enjoying fresh orange juice

Istanbul spice market, too bad we couldn't just load up on a bunch!
