Just came back from vacation… I went home. Home to Turkey…
My first time going back after my mother’s passing.
My mother had a lot of friends. Lots and lots… From every age and every gender… What happens to one’s friends when she dies?
In my case, I inherited my mother’s friends. They became my friends. I was welcomed with the same genuine, friendly way that I am used to. I knew that it was just as hard for them to loose her so suddenly. In a weird way, it helps to know that there are people out there sharing your pain. We took this opportunity to talk, cry and laugh about her.
This is a post about some of the memories from my Turkey visit.
As I was vacationing I did not do a lot of blogging.
Bad, new food blogger… I know.
But, I promise I came back with a ton of new ideas.
So here is what I did when I wasn’t blogging…
- Enjoyed the most amazing breakfast made by my beautiful aunt, Ayla: Look at this table. Different kinds of cheeses, olives, baked goods, Turkish tea and hand picked tomatoes…
- Vacationed in one of the most beautiful summer towns in Turkey; Ortakent, Bodrum: Lot’s of food, great conversation with friends on the seaside…Dinners over looking this amazing view every night…
Amazing food with friends…
- Spent quality time with the family:
- Learn to cook and eat some new recipes… (Looking forward to sharing them on my blog)
- Met with friends and drank lots and lots of Turkish Coffee every day:
- Spent some quality “father & daughter” time…
Vacations are good for you. It helps you recharge… I enjoyed every bit of my time in Turkey with my wonderful friends and family.
I hope you are enjoying your summer and will get a chance to head out to a summer town (or your favorite destination ) as well…
Cheers.
