Izmir and Cesme

Saturday was a really long day.   We got up super early because of the jet lag and walked around the oceanfront boulevard for a while before finding the large Izmir bazaar, full of shops to buy anything you could want.   I am not a shopper but did enjoy taking pictures nearby at a plaza with a very nice minaret. 

The afternoon was spent in Cesme, a small beach town where we found our pension overlooking the bay and went to the beach.   The beach wasn't impressive but taking a dip in the cold water was a refreshing break from the heat.   The temperature around here must be 100 degrees or more.
