Sunken City - They had High Aspirations
Kurban Bayram. In it's simplest term it is like Thanksgiving. People eat well and give food to those who are less fortunate. Actually, it is a little more complicated. Last year we spent our Kurban in Bulgaria. We had heard that it is a sacrificial holiday and that we would likely see goats and sheep slit and hanging around town, so we got out. This year we are living in a less conservative part of the country and talked to many people in Antalya that ...
The greatest team of all.
