The Beach




Yesterday, we visited the Black Sea in a part of Istanbul called Kilyos, which is a 1.5 hour bus ride away from the city center. The beach was not quite as salty as the ocean, but salty enough to refrain from submerging your head in too many times. We opted for a private part of the beach owned by a restaurant, whıch was actually cheaper than the rest of the beach and allowed us to have some drinks and a table wıth an umbrella. The Turkish cabernet I tried wasn't half bad, and we ate a snack of "maedia" again. Despite my pleas for him to stay out of the sun, Derrick got an unpleasant sunburn on hıs shoulders -- not the best when we're back to backpacks this afternoon and evening.
