This post I wrote weeks ago but I don’t feel like writing again so I will just copy and paste!
The boat trip was so amazing and I have a lot to say about it but first I must tell you about Ege’s circus, it will also help give background for the kotton family.
The Kotton family is not named Kotton but Yuldez. This family is really close to my own; Yudum’s best friend from what I can tell. They are called the Kotton family since they are the owners of the store kotton which here is a big thing. I love this store and other than H&M, Kotton is my favorite. I cannot go into this store without buying something, a dangerous place when I am trying to save. Its easy to call them the Kotton family since we all know who they are with the people I talk to. They have two kids. Dinise who is 13 and we get along great; and Ege who is 10 and a little troublemaker. The night before we went on the cruise with them Ege had his circumcision party which is a big thing. Lets just say it was nicer than me and my sisters weddings combined. The thing was amazing! First off the invitation was a hard cover photo book of an old circus style. I didn’t know how dressed up I should get so I wore a new skirt and looked very old classic circus and then Yudum walked in wearing a fancy evening gown. Apparently the party was black tie, thanks for letting me know Yudum. The party was incredible and they had a literal circus there too. Clowns, performers, and a huge snack booth with candy, ice cream, candy apples, popcorn, hot dogs, cotton candy, and drinks ( smoothes, sodas, etc) . There were all these cool things such as face painting, drawn headshots, photo and dress up booth, and a few other things that I don’t remember. The kids had their area to eat but the parents had a super nice area complete with a stage and live jazz singer, huge vases of orchids, and a 5 star 5 course meal. When it got cold everyone got a shall that had the Ege’s circus logo on it (which was on everything). It was ridiculous how much and how extravagant this whole thing was, and it was for a circumcision! Oh and he got gifts, his main one being at brand new ATV four wheeler! For a 10 year old! Apparently at the party there was a bunch of famous people, of course, like a big basketball player for one of the main club teams.
I did have a crush of the night, the candy boy. He was so stinkin cute I couldn’t take my eyes off him! I wanted to talk to him but I was too shy so I just took a creeper picture of him when he was not looking. Zeynep still talks about him and me lol There was a great clown act and then another magic/fun act for the kids after they ate. All in all the thing was amazing but completely ridiculous at how nice it was for a circumcision party.
The next day we all flew out together with the Kotton family for our boat trip which they invited us for. Once again I underestimated the dress since I brought mostly things I could be comfortable in and wear around the boat. Who knew that you had to dress up to go to dinner on a boat?? I got by and their daughter Denise offered me to raid her closet which was full of nice brand name and designer things. She even brought a pair of her Louis Vuittons. Well the trip was pleasant and I got to talk to Denise and April ( the English teacher from Canada who lives with them) . First thing when I got on the boat was i was surrounded by several good looking boat boys who were busy getting our luggage onto the boat. It was amazing! The yacht was one of the classic wooden ones with at least 9 rooms in it. Each room had its own bathroom and even though it was small…heck we were on a yacht! April and I shared a room together which was so much fun. I really do love that girl. She is a little older, 32, but we got along great! She has done a lot of traveling herself, she worked as an aupair in Spain for 3 years and has been in London for 6. I watched her a lot since she was more proper and the company on the boat was more elegant than I am used to. I even started to talk like her. It was lots of fun still. On the boat we went from cove to port and so on every day. The water was so clear it was amazing! I could stand on the side of the boat, look straight down and see the sea bottom! I dont think I have ever swam in more beautiful waters. The water was also so salty that we were very buoyant and I barely had to move my arms or legs to keep my head above water. I would have fun with the kids diving to the more shallow bottom and collecting shells and dead sea urchins. The ports that we stopped at were usually small little areas where people had their small businesses. I felt bad because their entire year depended on these cruises that come through in the summer with tourists. Some of the places were very run down with dust collecting on the postcards. Sometimes we would have someone in a small speedboat come to the boat selling ice cream, or there were some ladies that came by selling different things. I bought a swim cover up from them. One of the girls was still really young and had even gone to college but now she was spending her time fighting to sell her merchandise to tourists on cruises for the summer to last her through the rest of the year. There was one area we went to where there was the remains of a fort wall on the top of the hill on this island. We got to hike up to it which I was super stoked about. I got my backpack on and everything ready for a good hike even though it was quite small. I was still super excited for my first hike in Turkey and maybe my only. After the hike most everyone just swam back to the boat from the dock. Zeynep is a super good swimmer which makes me very happy that I don’t have to watch her every micro second.
The boat boys were a nice, well needed change. I left America with the relief of getting away from boys and relationship dramas which has been great but after a couple months i am just itching for even a boy who is in my life enough to have a crush on! so being on a small boat for a week with several young, good looking guys who are interested and flirting has been about the best thing ever. This is now new writings so it is old news so i will just fill you in on the main details. They would so obviously stare at me, especially when i was wearing my swim suit. I didnt mind i am just a little self conscious. When it was getting closer to the end of my week they would (Emra) would just give me things to eat and drink. Dinners are always amazing with more food than i could ever consume available. One night i was finished eating and done but the main course had not even come yet, the fish. It was really nice fish and everyone was still waiting, i had been taking care of Zeynep since her stomach had been bothering her but i came down to finish eating and chat with April a bit when Emra comes over with a huge fish, scales, fins, face and everything and even though i said no thank you he didnt care and put the fish onto my plate! this was a sweet thing since it was before anyone else had gotten it and it was such a nice fish but i really did not want it! how could i refuse! it was on my plate looking at me! So i started eating and only ate about half of it. Another time Emra had made a special dessert for everyone and he brought it out but he served me first out of everyone telling me i need to try it before anyone else got their pieces. He was so cute! i was really attracted to him! there was a sail boat in the distance in one bay they we were watching and it blew over and immanently he called Faith over and they jumped in the speedboat to go help them. So HOT!
April was not having much luck with phones and hers was not working so she bought a new one. The next day when getting back onto the boat she dropped it into the ocean! Faith was elected to jump in and get it but when he couldnt see it Emra swiftly pulled off his shirt and dived in to get it. So HOT!!!! haha it was good times. i had a great time just chatting with them. Faith was the young one so he was more teesy flirty which was cute but i had a great time and it was some well needed flirting! Now that its over i dont remember as much but it was great. Great boat trip! :)
Wow that sounds so amazing, I wish I was around super clear waters <3
ReplyDeleteBtw that party is definitely extreme! They do have parties that are like bridal showers or baby showers but since your family was rich, they had a circus =D
Oh and the last part I think you mean Fatih instead of Faith?
