Quote: Oh wow, you were WAY down there in the southeastern part of Turkey! I have never been that far south or east. My parents are Turkish and I was born there in Kadikoy. When it was time for my brother and I to go to school, we moved here to the states. We made many migrations over the years back to Turkey to see the relatives and spent many summer vacations back there as well. I haven't been back since I was about 18 years old! (I am in my 50's now) My brother goes back a lot. Me......LOL not so much. I do keep contact with cousins via email however.
You and I should get together and take a vacation back to those lands. Revisit our pasts!! Ha!
Great interview!!
You don't know how bad I'd want to go! The last time I was there only a few horse drawn buggies. That's a long time ago.

They started to do away with the horse drawn buggies in the 80's. Too many cars. At least in and around Istanbul. However the last time I was there, there were still lots of sellers of bread, water and other goods still using horse and buggy. I am sure LOTS has changed since both of us have been there!
Being a "neighbor", it was especially interesting to read your interview since I've read many of your posts here. Terrific pictures. Thank you for taking the time for those of us who are newer to chickens.

I'd give anything for some real ekmek (bread).

I stopped over in Turkey twice, without staying longer than a few hours each time. I'd love to go back for a proper visit some day. An acquaintance of ours vacationed there about 2 years ago and she couldn't get over how nice it is there.

Oh, and how about that Simit....that sesame seed bread they sell warm on the streets!!!OMG...that stuff is to DIE for!!! We used to bring home suitcases of it on the airplane ride home!
Excellent. Great pics Karen! I've been to Golcuk, Turkey. It was one of my favorite ports.
I remember those sesame rings.
Dawg, where is Golcuk? Were you a Navy man?

It's an overlooked gem. I don't think there's a better place to spend time there, they have so much history, good food, nice people, good prices. I even miss the smells.
