A wonderful and descriptive moment captured by a wonderful and descriptive writer. Thanks for the trip. Ra Martin said it all. Thanks Ra.

Woodcutters, cabbage rolls & goats–warm hearted, amber eyed villagers,
home cured olives…almonds & honey. You are in a safe harbor,
the essence of making “home” wherever you find it. Your literary portraits are vivid and generous,
Thank you for the view in to a place and a life many of us will never experience. RA

Oh James,
what a journey you took me on, the layers of history, you’ve carved out a sculpture of words that is so satisfying, slakes the hunger for the “authentic”, but also stokes the fires of desire for more. I agree a “mini-documentary”!

What a wonderful article. So beautifully written, and the images that James has created out of the reality that passes across his mind and eyes are a mini documentary of which I would love to see. He should be paid by the Turkish government, big bucks, for his vision of their country. Don’t stop, don’t stop.

Good of you to do that Johnny. If I had corresponded with you previously I would have come here sooner.

James, I wander over Lonely Planet forums attempting to answer questions would-be travellers have about this, the Lycian Coast of Turkey. I will be sure to point them in the direction of this commentary on life in Kaş. Thank you…

James,
Great stuff, but I am pleased that you are now residing in a warmer apartment than this one. Your writing made me put another log on our fire in our house in Çukurbağ up above Kaş.
Scott: wine is not terribly expensive tho the locals complain about the prices. Unfortunately James does not like rakı which is the fabled “lions milk” which after a couple of glasses sneaks up and makes you think thoughts not your own…
