Turkey #1

I will dedicate several posts to our fall break trip in Turkey - we have soooooo many pictures! Overall our travels went smoothly, and included funny stories, good food, beautiful sights and much more. The first day we left Klaipeda at 3am from the bus station, and got to Turkey at about 12 hours later. We immediately checked into our hotel and went out exploring. Here's a few pictures from our first evening.

Bethany and I with our first meal - various salads, chicken, couscous and rice

Susie holding a spicy lamb/beef kabob - this was our favorite!

Many stores had baklava and Turkish delight displayed in the windows

We went to see the whirling dervishes our first evening as well
(Whirling is a method used by the Sufis to get closer to their god)
