relaxation

Hey there! I'm having the time of my life right now. I'm at my grandmother's summerhouse at Çeşme. Çeşme is located at the Aegean part of Turkey, it's a heavenly holiday area. I've been here since the 16th of July and I won't be going back to Istanbul until the end of the first week of august.

Anyway life is great over here, it's so simple. The nature is so pure, so untouched. I go swimming first thing in the morning. Even though it's really hot over here, the sea is really cool. I can feel the steam coming over my head when I jump in the water. The day passes quickly, it's the nights that I love.

I've never seen so many stars before. They are like colorful candy particles on a chocolate covered donut. At nights me and my friends go to the beach, watch the stars and the flickering lights of the houses at the other side of the bay. The small talk is really entertaining. I love the way none of us have real worries at all, during summer at least.

Everything is great, except one thing, this place is full of frogs and insects. I wasn't irritated by frogs when I was little. In the previous years when I came to Çeşme, me and my two other friends used to capture frogs, put them in a water bowl, add some grass and pretend we were preparing frog soups. I don't know what made me become so irritated by frogs. I guess now they are getting even with me, taking the revenge of the frogs me and my friends tortured, well, kind of. The thing about insects is that they are everywhere. I see some kind of 6-or-more-legged-beast anywhere I turn. I'm not scared of them but I hate seeing one on my towel when I get back from swimming.

I've been talking too much again haven't I? Well that's all for today. Enjoy the photos I just took. Have a nice holiday y'all!
