Some shots of this stunning hotel at breakfast and dinner. Of course we have to interrupt playtime to see some ruins to remind us of planet earth: the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus, a bunch of rubble that used to be one of the seven wonders of the ancient world, and St. Peter\u2019s Castle, outpost of the Knights of St. John during the crusades, which includes a museum with remnants of thousand-year-old shipwrecks. Then it\u2019s free time until dinner and a sharing with John Morton in the evening. It&#8217;s a dessert day, which we deserve after our sojourn in the desert planting the Light, ghostbusting, meditating, etc. John talks about how cooperative and compassionate the group has been, and gets choked up about the caring he&#8217;s seen in the participants and staff. He gets an unexpected call from Sherie Wylie Markova in the U.S. one of the trip&#8217;s major planners, and shares it with the our group.<\/p>\n<h4>View the Photos by David Sand from Day 16 of the PTS Turkiye Tour, September 2026<\/h4>\n<div style=\"max-width: 640px; height: 400px\" class=\"fshow-wrapper\">\n<iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.msia.org\/newdayherald\/fshow_orbit_568f69558d682?photosetid=72177720335796521&user_id=71628367%40N07&gallery_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.flickr.com%2Fphotos%2F71628367%40N07%2Fsets%2F72177720335796521%2F\" style=\"width: 100%; height: 400px\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" webkitallowfullscreen=\"true\" mozallowfullscreen=\"true\" border=\"0\">\n<\/iframe>\n<noscript>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/flic.kr\/s\/aHBqjD5Neg\" target=\"_blank\">Click to View<\/a><\/noscript>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Another day at our Mediterranean beachside paradise in Bodrum.
