came to visit- how exciting!
Traveling around with them was fun. We did lots together, but to be honest, just "being" together was the best part. We especially enjoyed going to Ephesus- even in the rain!
My parents did so well with all the modes of transportation and definitely got their walking in each day! It's fun to see things through new lenses as well because after being here for 4 months, the "new" things aren't so new anymore. Here are a few pictures:
A few things they noticed:
* people park their cars however they want to- even half on the sidewalk and half on the road
* stray (or everybody's) cats are everywhere and there are plenty of street dogs too
* people don't acknowledge one another when they pass by on the street
* we throw our tp in the trash... although we were informed this was passe and you don't really have to do it anymore
* tea is always offered!
*There is no shortage of bread in this country (bakeries abound!)
* There's always room for more people on the trains, busses and minibusses
