We continue to enjoy Fethiye and have managed to figure out how to live here in a way that feels both exciting and comfortable.<\/p>\n

One of our more creative decisions was renting an extra apartment just for the kids. It\u2019s basically turned into the ultimate hangout space. There are poker nights, D&D games, and a lot of laughter coming from there almost every evening. It\u2019s been such a great way for them to have independence while still being close by.\u00a0 Michael, of course, has been busy finding ways to make everything more fun. He somehow turned a nearby basketball court into a pickleball court, which has quickly become a favorite activity. Between that, the gym, and the scooters, he\u2019s definitely making the most of our time here.<\/p>\n

Food has been a bit of an adventure too. Vegan restaurant options in Fethiye are pretty limited, so we\u2019ve had to get creative. Thankfully, Michael found a local group that hosted a vegan picnic \u2014great food and great people. We also discovered a restaurant with a dedicated vegan menu (a rare find here), and it came with an unexpected bonus: a resident cat named Pablo Escobar who completely stole the show.<\/p>\n
