This is a silly email…but it was fun!

Thursday is “market day” in Marmaris. On Sunday there’s a market in Beldibi. Iҫmiler has one on Wednesday. Most folks walk to the market so markets must be close to where people live. The vendors make the rounds of all of them so we see Thursday vendors at the Sunday Market. Except for our favorite cheese guys; they don’t go to Beldibi. In the summer it’s a madhouse on Thursday with crowds of tourists who rent small efficiencies swelling the population and making the market building something to be avoided. The Beldibi Sunday market is far from the madding crowd so we like it better though still make quick visits on Thursday to our cheese guys.
Thursdays start like any other day… listening to the morning NET and checking email before leaving for the Thursday Market.

Rhino Randal and I went to the market with Mary, Rick and their son Robert who is here visiting from California. Mary took part in this silliness happily snapping photos of Rhino Randal and me. Not sure when Rhino Randal’s next adventure will be…luckily he is just a pretend Rhino or he’d be too heavy to fit into my backpack. |
