Adventures with Baris the Fine

Last week we hung out with my friend Baris from Toronto, originally from Istanbul. We went to Ephesus, the best preserved and one of the most important ancient Roman cities. Then we became beach bums at Akyaka, a chill beach town on the southern coast known for its Ottoman architecture. We had a good time swimming, so we decıded to go to the infamous Bodrum peninsula, which attracts about a million European tourists a summer, and stayed at another friends beach house. Baris played a lot of Civ 4 on his laptop when we werent at the beach. I gave him bad advice to attack the Germans and, after losing the battled his ranking dropped to Baris the Fine. As a host and a guide, though, he was Baris the Great!
