I think I must have gained weight with all the delicious food: olive oil, bread, cheese… (not to mention all the wine; our group drank 40 bottles during the week we were on the boat). The food on the gulet was a-m-a-z-i-n-g. At long last, some photos–just a few of the many delicious dishes I had the pleasure of consuming.
