sea kayaking in the aegean


it's going to be cliche but seriously we live in an amazing country. put aside the politics because it is not pretty, the countryside, the coast line and the seasons here are awe-inspiring. we kayaked from datca to selimiye, around some islands, totalling around 55 some kms in 3 days. having done an average of 18 kms per day, a background of wilderness camping with kids sent from juvenile justice etc, this trip was still not easy.

i am afraid i have gotten used to urban living and the maintenance that comes with it. buttt i got used to not looking at myself in the mirror after the end of day 1. pretty quick i'd say. i was kinda surprised to see myself in the mirror of the airport when flying back to istanbul.



how lovely to not have to think about myself for a bit. it was great to be physically exhausted for once, the mental exhaustion gets me real cranky. watching falling stars, the swish of the sea during dream sleep beats any day in the city. any day.
