Sorry I disappeared - the day I got back from Antalya I had to work 10 days straight, actually, I'm on day 10 now. Things have been so busy because the whole system at Wall Street is being updated, which is a good thing, but we've had a lot of training. While I grumbled about it (12 hour days? ugh) I realized I'm lucky to be working at a place that gives the employees training. Sure, making practice lessons and teaching them is a pain and embarrassing and listening to things I've already heard or aren't quite relevant, but it's good that they want to make sure their teachers are qualified. Anyway, here are the pictures from the last day in Antalya:
A delicious final dinner. I love Sinan's mother's barbequed chicken, she puts such a good sauce or seasoning or something on it - it's simple but so good.
A pretty fruit but I don't know the name in Turkish or English. Do we have it in the States? I didn't really like the taste or texture, it's a little sweet.
Turkish breakfast
Another kind of borek, I think this just had cheese, parsley, and peppers in it.
Helva, a really difficult-to-describe thing to eat. It's sort of like a meringue texture? But a little harder? Really sweet, but a little bit is kind of good.
That photo of the mystery fruit caused a twinkle in Celal's eye... they're one of his favorites - figs! In Turkish they're called incir.
