Turkey: Uluborlu Bazaar

 Cheese!

Mostly all of the cheese is Sheep's cheese.

 No, Mick doesn't look like a tourist at all in his Wolverine t-shirt...errrr.  Hope he got a good deal.

Turkey: Mountain Lake trip

 On the way to the lake we stopped at a ice cold mountain spring.

 Garbage at the base of the spring.  Sadly this sight is all too often in Turkey, they are still stuck in the 70's when it comes to taking care of your trash.

Lake Eğirdir is fourth largest fresh water lake in Turkey.  It's huge and is brightly colored from algae.

 Village next the the lake

 Pink!  Rose scented and flavored things are a specialty of the area.

 The writing on the mountain side reminds me of all the towns in Montana with the letters on the hills or mountains.

 The peninsula where we ate.

Uluboru Food

 Stove top

 Tea

 Cooked wheat drying (aka Bulgur)

 Breakfast, the traditional way.  Sitting on the floor is the more traditional way of eating in Turkey.  This was the first time that we got to do this.

 Cousins and more floor eating....Yum!

 Lentil soup

 Tomato salad

 Bean dish

 Desert!  Fried dough, covered in honey.

 Making Uluborul Börek.  A simple dough with a meat filling.

 A special treat, tea from a wood burning machine.

More tea, from a fruit seller at the side of the road.
