Egirdir, Turkey
After a few weeks of hugging the coast, we turned inland toward "lakeland," an easy stop on the way to Cappadocia. We enjoy staying in towns with unreliable electricity, and Egirdir was no exception. A peaceful spot that sees only a trickle of tourists, Egirdir offers few amusements beyond splashing in the clear water, eating tasty lake fish, and downing a few Efes. When the power cuts out, the restaurants bring out candles, and locals hang out on the lakeshore, chatting for hours.

Lake Egirdir

The marina.

The neverending game of gin rummy, which we started months ago. Peter's smiling, even though he's currently in the hole.
