Small World

We moved on to Agva, atown built at the estuary to the Black Sea. Driving out of Istanbul seemed to take hours, but apparently we are still in Istanbul. The city is a province. We're ataying at Piccolo Mondo - a 20 room resort on the river. This place is worth returning to Turkey for. Both breakfast & dinner are included in the price. It has tables on the two layered terraces jutting out over the river, but more importantly, there are hammocks and swings under the trees. We're here at the end of May. It is considered cold, but we find the sun intense. We,ve napped, swing, drink wine & listened to the call to prayer three times today.

The sand is soft here. You sink past your ankles. The Black Sea is cold, but clear.
