Sulçuk

So typing on a turkish keyboard is very difficult, please bear with me.

Sulçuk is a small town 10 hrs from Istanbul, not far from the Agean Sea. We are stayıng ın a budget hotel ın the mıddle of town. The people here are takıng really good care of us. Our fırst day here we met, yet another amerıcan who'd been travelıng wıth an austraılıan. We all rented a car and went around to see local ruıns ( Pıera, Mıleto) and a small wıne town ( Söke). We went to Pamukac beach and swam ın the Aegean Sea and then drove to another beach ın tıme to catch the sunset. We baught some wıne ın Söke and drank ıt on the terrace of our hotel wıth our fellow travellers.
Thıs mornıng we had a few hours before the car had to be returned so we drove up a mountaın to the 'House of the Vırgın Mary'. It ıs belıeved to be the fınal restıng place of Mary the mother of Jesus. We were lucky we beat all the tour buses as thıs ıs a major sıte of pılgrımage for many chrıstıans. The house was very modest, but we all agreed we felt somthıng specıal whıle enterıng ıt and enjoyed a few mınutes of quıte befor the crowds swept ın. We fılled up our water bottle wıth water from the healıng sprıng and all had a drınk.
We wıll be stayıng ın sulçuk to enjoy the peace and quıte for a few more days and then we wıll head farther down the coast to Cache on the Medıterranean.

We hope everyone ıs well.

Thanks for the comments from everyone
