Today is the last day of Ramazan, and tomorrow, Monday, and Tuesday there is a bayram, or a holiday, which is a time for families to visit each other. There are two bayrams during the year, and this one is a sugar bayram. I think when you go visit people (usually the younger people visit the older people) they serve desserts and give candy (like Halloween??). As times are changing, people aren't visiting families so much as going on holiday, because work is closed for at least 3 days. Two weeks ago I tried to find bus tickets and everything was booked already. Luckily I found a plane ticket at midnight to Antalya, which worked out well because Sinan was here so I get to see him and his family and not have to pay for an overpriced hotel and food.
Today we went to visit the graves of his father's uncles and aunts and father. The area was really pretty, here are a bunch of pictures:
No day can start without a delicious breakfast!
Village woman! I needed some long pants to visit the graves and I decided to play dress up.
Some mountain pictures
Sinan and his brother collecting the fruit from cactus (or cacti?) - his brother is wearing a tea bag to grab the fruit.
