I just arrived in Turkey 2 weeks ago, it feels 1 hour ago! I forgot to tell you guys that its great that you can read my blog.
First when we got off the boat in Fethiye we went on a walk . On our walk we went on the road to a Turkish ice cream wagon. Turkish ice cream is not fast melting ice cream. Click on this link to see a Turkish ice cream man:

Then we went to the harbor master and Papa had our names added to the crew list,and on our way back we saw a giant turtle (we also saw his dog friend, too.)
When we left Fethiye we went to Tomb Bay. We swam and kayaked and we also went hiking. Papa taught me how to drive the dinghy.
After Tomb Bay we went to Kucuk Kuyruk (This means Rear End. The bay is shaped like someone's rear end. That is funny.) There were lots of goats on the mountains at Kucuk Kuyruk. I wanted to go pet them but Tutu said no.
We kayaked a lot at Kucuk Kuyruk.
Then we went to a market anchorage. It made the boat roll so much I thought I would fall out of my bed. When we tried to leave the wind was too strong. So we sailed for fun for a few hours and Papa ran the watermaker. Then we went back and stayed there for two more days. (Note from grandmother: a 'market anchorage' is what she calls any anchorage that has a small grocery store. Most anchorages we have visited have been uninhabited.)
In the market anchorage we also took a tour boat that took us to a river that led up to a huge ancient city (Caunos). We walked around some and saw an old Roman theater. It was not the kind that had gladiators.
Tutu dropped her handkerchief and had to go back to the theater to find it while Papa showed us the Roman baths and explained how it used to be. There was a castle way up on top of a hill but we did not have time to walk up there.
We were supposed to see some rock tombs but those were too far away up the river to see much. The tour guide wanted more money to take us there but Tutu said no because she did not want to spend any more money on this tour and we also wanted to hurry and get back to the boat to leave. There were huge loggerhead turtles in the marsh entrance that ate crabs. None of us knew that turtles like to eat crabs.
Papa bought some cooked crabs and we later ate these on the boat. I love steamed blue crabs! These were boiled instead of steamed but they were still pretty good.
When we left again we changed plans ,and went to Mamaris and docked in the marina right in town. We walked through the old bazaar and went to Papa's favorite place for lunch and ate chicken doner kebabs made by the Samarai Kebab Man. That man is funny. He has a really long knife that he uses to cut the chicken off the round thing. Doner kebabs are chicken and lettuce and tomatoes wrapped in a big tortilla. Tastes pretty good. I like these better than the gyros we ate last summer in Greece.
We were squished in the 1st marina we went to,so we moved to Yat Marin. We are now so far away from the pool ,which is the main reason we came.
That's all we've done lately so keep following and enjoy.
