Day 14 - Blogabond

This was a leisure day. Mark and I took advantage of what we were paying for at our resort . . . a pool with a beautiful view, a clean beach, and men in white shorts and tee-shirts catering to our every need for towels, drinks, food, etc. I finished my third book of the trip and began another. Even got some "color" in my skin. But by 3 p.m. it was clearly time to say good-bye to Marmaris so we headed to the ferry dock to catch the hydrofoil to our last destination, Rhodes.

There weren't many people waiting for the ferry, so it was easy to spot the three twenty-something USC students doing the "take a semester off and backpack through Europe" thing. And thus it finally happened--the inevitable "small world" meeting that is required for every overseas trip. After talking briefly, I discovered that one of these students was Cantor L.'s son! Who is Cantor L, you might ask. Well, he performed my confirmation and the bar mitzvahs of all four of my brothers. His son Adam seemed cool and the hydrofoil ride was made pleasant by the conversation.
