The Siverek Livestock Market

---

Mehmet (Alisons brother in law and Faro's brother was our guide for the day, he arrived in time for breakfsat with us, then we were off to the Siverek Livestock Market.

It was already very hot, but Mehmet's car was airconditioned so the 50 km drive was very pleasant. The day temperatures have been in the high 30 deg's while we have been here.

Mehmet parked in the shambles of trucks, carts, horses and livestock and said to us he would see us in an hour.

We thought we were on a guided tour and at first wondered how we would get around.
It was no problem as everyone just everyone wanted to talk with us and be our friend, everyone wanted their photo taken. So it took a while to get around but it was great fun, not another woman on the site, surrounded by these Kurdish animal traders.

We were stared at (in an OK sort of way) everyone tried to talk to us but none spoke English, some of the younger men spoke German and a little English,

Sheryll posed with several groups of men to have their photo taken and we were invited to have Cay (Turkish Tea) at every turn.

All our concerns regarding being on our own vanished and we had a great time.

A herd of goats took my attention and I pondered how I could take them home to join Sophie
