This took me 3 visits to Turkey before I could tak

This took me 3 visits to Turkey before I could take one home. We finally found the one we’d buy and figured out how to take it home safely. It lives on our backyard table these days and works with a battery operated led button lamp. I’m thinking of building it a little round base out of air dry clay to sit on. 🥰

It’s only been a week since we got home and we’re already on the road again. 😂 We’ve come to 1000 islands to watch the Perseid meteor shower and will go to Montreal, Ottowa and Bancroft next. Road trip all the way! 👍🚗

Went to the Bodrum Castle and Underwater Archeolog

Went to the Bodrum Castle and Underwater Archeology Museum last night. Good thing that we did, cos Leyla cut her heel open today and had to get stitches so she ain’t moving around much for a few days.

We decided to tour the museum after dark as it closes at 23:00 - so it’d be less crowded and easier to walk around in the cool of the night. Built in the late 1400s, the castle houses a little chapel that was converted into a mosque after the Ottoman acquisition. It was the first door that the kids wanted to open once inside the museum. Emre was a little nervous of the dark and the sarcophaguses (sacophaghi?🤷‍♀️) laying around so he asked if he’d see any skeletons or zombies inside. 👻☠️👽 I assured him that everything inside was loong dead and there’d be nothing of that sort.

Swipe right to the second photo and this is what he ended up seeing. I’m not sure whose skeleton that was but it certainly was scary. He freaked out for the rest of the tour and wanted to get the hell out asap. The kids were most worried that the museum would close and we’d get locked in 😂🙈

Not as scary as what we saw next though: The highlight of the museum was the Karia Princess Ada’s room, where they reconstructed her body using her remains and I was most interested in her 2300~ year old jewels. And when I say her remains, I mean her skeleton. Somebody had thrown a plastic water bottle inside her tomb - that was covered with a glass lid. 🤦‍♀️

Fun times 🤪 The shipwrecks were pretty cool imo.
