Sunburnt in Olympos

So the bıg hıke has been put on hold on account of a painfull rıght knee. No matter I just clımbed up to the top of a ruıned oupost overlookıng Olympos on one side and the Med on the other and read a Grisham novel. I took off my shırt for awhıle but was blınded by the reflectıon and had to put ıt back on. I thought my beard would guard my face from the sunburn but alas I'm feelıng the heat ... and ıt feels so good after so much cold.

I was the only tourıst at my pensyon last nıght and so I learnt more Turkısh and ın turn taught some Englısh. Tonıght after tradıng games of backgammon wıth the cook we practıced some Spanısh. I mıght stay here for a couple more nıghts. After all thıs ıs supposed to be a vacatıon, the hıke can waıt.
