Maura to Annie Powers, Letter

Maura to Annie Powers, Letter Antalya July 8, 1976 Dear Annie, I hope you are taking the month of August off, you'd be crazy not to. We are in Antalya on the Mediterranean, it's really impressive. I've never seen such blue wat er its really warm & clean. I've seen my first palm & cactus trees, they are too much for words. You should see this park they have here. Its filled with trees, plants, & flowers. It overlooks the water. We go there every evening to watch the sun set on the mountains. Its so beautiful. When your not at the beach the place to be is the Tea garden. Its where everyone hangs out. I'm usually the only gal there. It doesn't bother me too much. Everyone stares at us, it gets annoying at times. The tea is delicious. They serve it in little glasses, no milk & everyone here drinks it really sweet. We have made too many friends. Everyone wants our company & unfortunately for them we can't be in two places at once. We have eaten at five different people's houses. They are extremely friendly & hospitable. We feel like moochers sometimes because we Know they have less money than we do. I eat almost anything now. The fruit here is so good & cheap, it's too bad we can't bring any home. The students learn foreign languages in school, so I've been speaking a lot of German. Its really great. We ll be leaving here in a few days to where I don't Know. We'll be home in early August, can't wait to see you. I'm really not looking forward to N.Y. I'm too used to doing nothing. Take care. Love Maura Dan says howdy!
