Day 13 - Antalya, Turkey

Today's excursion was to Antalya, Turkey. We chose not to go on this excursion in an effort to save money. It turned out to be a good idea. We were still feeling under the weather today. We finally had a day to sleep in! This cruise has proved to not be a time of catching up on sleep or even relaxing. We have been busy with excursions, presentations, and such each day. We have enjoyed these days, but it was wonderful to be able to sleep in past 6:30! After breakfast, we decided to enjoy the day and the beautiful Turkish mountains by sitting on the deck and reading. 

We discovered the sandwich grill on the deck and decided to eat lunch there. After lunch we went back to the cabin and slept for another 3 hours! The combination of sickness and lack of sleep must have finally caught up with us. Although we felt bad about missing out on some of the cruise excitement (Matt wanted to participate in a bocce ball contest), our bodies apparently needed the rest. Hopefully we will feel better tomorrow!

Today was a pretty low key day, not much to report. Maybe tomorrow will be more interesting...

Glad to hear from you today! I hope you get fully recovered before Rome. You certainly don't want to miss out on anything there. Katie, I thought of you this weekend when we were at Harvest Homecoming, which I know you always loved. I hope you had a great birthday, also. Matt, maybe you'll get to play bocce ball in Rome. Isn't that an Italian game? We are enjoying your blogs and look forward to every one!
Do you think it was that green fried thing in a pita that made you sick? Just kidding...you know how paranoid I am about food sometimes! Love to you both!
