Turkish Delights

Three things there are plenty of in Turkey:

1) Pomegranate - whether it's juice form, powder, actual fruit, tea or syrup, there is plenty of pomegranate. Locals love it and tourists "eat" it up

2) Rummy Cube - Aaron and I have played this at every hotel we've been in and we've seen locals play it on the side of the street... Good thing we love games : )

3) Cats - wow. I've never seen so many stray cats in my life. We counted 8 in one patio area of a restaurant. And yes, they all remind me of Olive (my sister's cat). Cat got Turkish tongue?

Now for a few photos:

An old amphitheater where they used to have plays, townhalls and even gladiator fights.

And our boat ride today to the Aegean Sea... We saw 4th century BC tombs (background... really eerie!) and turtles but of course I couldn't get a very good picture on my phone. I was too slow as a turtle : )

More from our trip to come!
