We need your help
Today we went out of town in our quest for urchins, but never arrived at our finding place.
Twenty kilometers out of Marmaris, laying in the middle of the road, was this dog who some soulless driver had hit.
Cars went around him but nobody stopped.
Of course, we did and took him back to our vet who did some first help, and than to another vet who has x-rays. He will operate on him today, his hind leg is badly broken.
It is a young male border collie mix. It had a nylon cord tyed terribly tigthly around his neck. Maybe he was bound somewhere and broke free, or maybe somebody threw him out a car, because there were no houses in the vicinity.
We tried to get the interest the Association for the Protection of animals, but they wouldn't hear of it.
We will get a very high vet bill. If you can help a bit with it, we would be really greatful. He will also need a home in a few days. He is the sweetest thing, wagging his tail despite his pain.
He is terribly smelly right now, but will clean up beautifully.
If you can miss a few dollars, it would help us greatly to pay his bill, please if you can miss a bit paypal it to us through our email: star-of-the-east(at)hotmail(dot)com
We will go back later today to see how everything went and to pay the expenses.

Great Expectations
In the summer we don't find many urchins, so we went on expedition in the hope to discover a new finding place.
We had a Google map with us, but it was pretty useless. There is a myriad of this kind of dirt roads, leading from nowhere to nowhere else.
As always, as soon as you see the coast, it is breath taking.
Most of those little bays are unaccesible by land, though.
In more than 4 hours we didn't see an other human being.
Some signs of humans were present, though. In a deserted bay, somebody with inflated expectations had put some pots of honey on a table with euro prices and instructions in turkish to put the money under the stone.Maybe one day a tourist will comply.
The fishing boat was also deserted.
The person who built this handsome bridge had really great expectations. It leads from a dirt road with no trafic what so ever to a piece of land where in the distance is some bunting and a big sign saying 'restaurant'. Nothing else.
Surrealistic in the best of ways.
We followed this mother and daughter team for a while.
They lead us to their favorite cove.
A small herd convened there.
One of the girls seemed to be getting pretty attached to me.
I got squeamish, not being familiar with cows ways and all the ladies having babies with them. But probably she only wanted a scratch between the ears, like the doggies.
They were rather king size cows.
Finally we both got to our own beach combing.
The sun was scorching, btw, but they were as foolhardy as german tourists.
We didn't find any urchins, but had a great day!
