Surprising Turkey

 Although we only had two port stops in Turkey, they were among the best stops of the entire cruise. Windstar sponsored a fantastic candlelight dinner among the ancient Roman ruins of Ephesus near the port of Kusadasi, Turkey.   The other stop was Bodrum, which is considered to be the Turkish Riviera. This was a two day stop where on the evening of day one, Bob had a belly dancing lesson on the ship..

2020 Plan B Summer RV trip

We had planned another marathon RV adventure this summer to the Midwest instead of the western states.  However, with 14 stops included to visit family and friends, in consideration of the COVID-19 times we are living in, we have instead opted to self isolate in the White Mountains near Slow Low Arizona.  So, here is our 2020 photo Rv travel blog.  As we are only making one stop this summer, this may be the only posting.

See https://spark.adobe.com/page/RrRNaGQdggY3M/ for details and photos.  Please leave comments  on how your summer is going.
