This past weekend all of the 2011-12 Turkish Fulbrighters gathered in Antalya (in the South of Turkey). We were hosted by the Commission at the Pirate's Beach Club -- a beautiful resort on the Mediterranean. As you can imagine, the theme for this place was pirates, so all of the staff were dressed in pirate attire. There was even a one legged pirate and a one armed pirate (truly). In addition to catching up with our "classmates," we were able to relax and reflect on our time in Turkey. We even had a guest (Deputy Under Secretary from Department of State) who was a former Fulbrighter. As well, there was an excursion to Olimpos (see pix) and another Greco-Roman site which was right by the Sea. It was truly a fitting way to reconnect with some remarkable people in an amazing place.
