Bus Station

What a blessing to be able to share with this special little girl at the bus station.

Victory Hill

The people of Victory Hill are hard-working, though they live in difficult surroundings.  We had a great visit with these two women who have two pet ducks just like us.  They have lived here for over 30 years.

Longest Aquarium Tunnel

The longest aquarium tunnel in Turkey was built in here so we just had to go see it!  There were some very interesting fish and sea animals there and it was very well done for you to be able to watch them.  The sharks and rays were the best part of course.

Car

We are pretty excited about the blessing of our car.  I'm practicing driving the stick-shift on the ups and downs and crazy traffic that is our city!

A Wonderful Tea

Our good friend and her mother went to a lot of trouble to prepare a wonderful tea time for us when we visited.  There was rice-filled grape-leaf rolls, chocolate cake, fried cheese and greens quesadilla-like things, and bulgur pilaf.  And of course, tea.

A New Restraunt

After a long day we went to a fun restaurant where they serve a huge salad right on a plastic sheet on the table.  You fill up your meat ball sandwich from there.  It was delicious!

Iranian Food

A sweet Iranian friend of ours invited us to have dinner and even though she and her sons are in a very difficult financial situation she prepared a huge delicious spread for us.  We were blessed to be able to spend some time with her.
