Among the Ancients and Legends

We are settled in for the night with and early morning "go" time, so this will be short (really). We drove ever closer to the Mediterranean today, stopping at Termessos National Park to hike straight up, through amazing ruins from 200 A.D. The city through which we hiked was one of the few Alexander did not take ( Deniz said probably too high to bother with). As we wound ever higher, both Pam and I said this was an experience like the one we had hiking through some of the Inca ruins along thr Inca Trail. The pics will say more than words can.
After hiking, we boarded the bus for our hotel, which is near the beach. After a quick cleanup, we were out again to hike up 800 stairs to see the remains of the Chimera...where the monster lies underground but continues to try and breathe and rise after being done in by Bellerophon (Greek myth).
Tomorrow we will begin the day by kayaking and end up on our gulet, so we will be out of Internet range for 5-6 days. Stay well and know that we are adventuring on the sea!
Love to everyone,
BB
