That’s how we ate our way through Turkey. Then we’d dance (live music filled every restaurant) and drink raki all night (diluted with water).
My favourite dish was a salad made of finely chopped cucumbers, tomatoes, green peppers, jalapeños and parsley drizzled in olive oil and a light vinegar. At least that’s what I thought was in it.
We’d drink tea with everything. In the shops. At the Blue Mosque. On the beach. Always with a single cube of sugar (I tried to ween myself off sugar for awhile. But I’m too addicted.)
And eat doners in places that were essentially outdoors, but covered.
We’d sit for hours on the benches in front of the Blue Mosque (which was the highlight of the trip for me) eating fresh watermelon and corn on the cob. Washing it all down with more tea.
I could really go for some of that right about now.

Wow! What a delightful adventure!
p.s. The photos are amazingly captivating!
who’s the owner of that handsome freckled arm behind the tea?
hard to tell here, but the freckles almost look like they blend into a tan
That sounds like such a relaxing time.
OMG I miss it so much… :(
