Hey Pat, are you out there?  Phish is decending on Vermont this year instead of Maine.   I have a friend that works in public health who has been given the mission to hand out 10,000 condoms during the three day event.  I wonder if that would make it into the Guinness Book of World Records.

Yes, I know about the turtles.  I think they come out at night and people aren't allowed to use that beach at night.  We'll be staying in bungalows by the river.  If you go down the river in one direction, you come to a lake. If you go the other way, you come to the sea. It sounds nice.  We'll be doing mostly nature things on this trip.  Every time I get away from L.A.  I realize I don't have enough nature in my life there and how much I need it!

By the way, you probably already know that Dalyan is famous for the sea turtles that come once a year to lay their eggs in the beach.

Hey Lori, I just found a listing on the web for a Chinese Restaurant in Dalyan at Maras Mah. 40 Dalyan - Turkey, Tel: 252 - 284 42 62 and I saw a picture of the Sweet Sixteen Dancing Bar.  You should be all set!  The tombs carved into the rocks above the river look pretty impressive as well.
