What I Did On My Summer Vacation
esterday was my birthday, which explains the NaNo-fail this weekend.
Way back when, Michael at In Time hosted a What I Did On My Summer Vacation blogfest. I didn't get a chance to play then, but since it's finally starting to snow around here, I'm thinking back to heat and sunshine.
There were a couple of weddings, the Bleu Lavande lavender fields, a concert or two and the Cirque du Soleil... Then came the trip to England and Turkey:

England from the sky
Dorothy Sayers' house in Witham, Essex
Windsor Castle, looking across from Datchet village
Kadınlar Denizi Beach
Kuşadası Marina
The water. Ah, the water
Sunset
Olive trees
A kervansaray, or Ottoman inn
A 14th Century mosque
Kystros, a river god
A road in the ancient town of Ephesus
A statue of Artemis
Istanbul, looking across the Golden Horn toward Topkapı Palace
The Maiden's Tower (or Leander's Tower) in the distance.
What do you remember from your summer vacation?

I was trying hard to make the photo look older, Trisha - zooming in as much as possible on the palace, so I could pretend I was looking at it through my character's eyes...
Aww shucks, Missed. We should hold a writers' retreat there someday!
