Mountain village of Sirince. 9:32am
We traveled for two hours into a small mountain village called Sirince. It was AMAZING.
The people were just like what 'Turkish village people' should look like. I could easily
live in this quaint little haven hidden among the mountains and olive trees.
Some streets in Izmir. 1:48pm
Turkey's flag hanging from a house window
These are just some details of the back streets near Hurrem's house.
Every morning we go and buy fresh baked breads for breakfast, and we walk these
streets to get to the bakery.
To market. 11:17am
Izmir - City Center
[. I am not as comfortable taking pictures of people here yet... I already stand out more than I would like,
being as I am tall, blue-eyed, have lighter hair, and am a girl... the camera just makes me that much more
visible. Haha, when people are already staring at you, it is hard to 'whip out' a hurkin' huge camera
to discretely take a picture of them... so... for now, you will have to simply accept my pictures of the city
center of Izmir, Turkey. Hopefully I will be able to capture some of the people and culture in the next few days .]
