... cups all fancy with silver. So of course on the next wandering I had to get a coffee pot. Since instant coffee is becoming more and more rare, we're going to have to switch our morning beverage yet again. Turkish coffee sounds good to me!

Close second is the tea - cay. I'm in love with the little glasses, matching saucers and tiny spoons. I must admit that I couldn't resist getting a set and posting it home. One of the negatives to ...

... a great atmosphere, and the squad in the stands (Jill with her tonsillitis, Carly, Casey and Johno on her crutches) all waved and said hello before taking up their usual vocal roles to spur on the girls.

We had a few chances in the first half, mainly passes to the Turkish keeper. Our player of the half was Alex as she seemed the ...

... contention for the Quietest Airport in the World award. All the shops were shut and there was scarcely a soul about. Our plane was delayed for over an hour. After completing a few laps of closed duty free we headed to our gate. Gates 1 - 19 in Stanstead are possibly the best example of why it should be awarded as the quietest airport in the world - the 2 (very small) coffee shops were closed, the 2 lounges were closed, and there were only 2 planes waiting to board ...

I felt asleep before 630 last evening, and got up at 5 this morning. What a sound sleep! And an amazing new noon arose outside my window. The prayer sound made the context really turkish.

Our lunch was at a resort with a lake. There were no other customers but us, the participants at the conference. It cost 20 lira, so maybe too expensive for local people.

Dinner was lighter, but i still couldn't finish it.

... the area each rug represents. It is a fabulous show that ends with the most beautiful silk carpets. Just seeing the rugs and having an appreciation for the work is enough for me. While deals are being worked out I wander around the property. But I do have to get serious about shopping for gifts for my family. And that was what I do later in the afternoon while in Kusadasi. But the only things I buy are bookmarks, a small deck of cards and colorful small ...

We spent a day walking through the ruins of Ephesus, trying to imagine the place with toga wearing Romans. The library is fantastic, but one of the most interesting buildings is the latrine. Apparently in winter the marble slabs would become quite cold to the touch, so in the streets you might hear a person of wealth say to his slave - "I feel a movement coming on, Thelonius would you be a good chap and go sit on my ...

Our cruise stopped off in Turkey for a day. We toured a bazar/casbah and drank some tea.
I remember on our land approach, being surprised at how deep green colour the hills were, popluated with so many trees. The city buildings were a beautiful cream white colour - sublime beauty.
