Hitching
It is the journey not the destination. What an experience. Adventure and stories for a lifetime.

Kurdish men sitting at a cay evi - Sunliurfa

These guys sure get around!
One minutes they're in Urfa ([photo=8043876] Abrahim, Renovation, and Vespas ), the next finds them here, holding the same conversation over the same cup of tea! :0) You need another massage!

Beautiful but be careful my friend.

Kars looks beautiful
We would love to explore this area. This area is full of politics, history and great foods.

Turkey
Progress is not always good. Sounds like we'd better get to this section of the world before 2017. Negative and positive impacts out of all choices. Politics, wars and decisions all impact the locals around the world.

Wanting a hawker
Desperate times are afoot when you are actually thinking you want or need a hawker. Like the looks of this town. Enjoy exploring.

You are actually doing something that we Indians have forgotton. I have seen my grandmother and mother use stone to grind masala, ginger, coriander and mint to make chutney and the flavour of the food used to be different. Thanks Paul for reminding me of the old days.

My favourite is Green Tea with honey, fresh lime juice, ginger and a mix of either/or pepper, cinnamon, cloves and cardamom.
Yep, I could go with those as amongst my favourite flavours. I'm not in a very good "space" (as the jargon goes) at the moment, having been told that the damage to my ulnar nerve ("funny bone") seems to be permanent i.e. irreversible with the consequence that I have no control over the 4th and 5th digits of my right hand. So I have to get pleasure by osmosis regarding new and interesting experiences, which is why, perhaps, I get so much pleasure from your blog (in addition to the fact that you write well and photograph well, and both of these are interests of mine.) Our 3rd grandchild is due 2nd April. With Natalie coming 3.5 weeks early, and Daniel being induced because he was overdue, their is absolutely no reliability in regard to due date. Thanks for sharing your experiences.

Fascinating
If there is one community that I would like to get to know a more about it is this community. I am so ignorant when it comes to their lives. One day, I will learn more. Thank you for sharing your aweseome experiences luvy. Best hugs

Rare to see women like this out and about in the market - Shivratri an exception
I'm interested to know if there is something about those women in particular ("women like this") that makes it rare for them to be seen out and about in the market, or if in general it is rare to see women "like this i.e. out and about in the market".
