"It is not about the destination but the journey" The first day that we
arrived in Turkey, Tim told us to think of a goal for our trip. My
choice was to try new foods. This was not easy for me because I am a
very picky eater, as my mother may say. I have been trying many new
types of food for every meal.
Out of every meal we have had I have most enjoyed two specific ones: a chicken stew with rice and hot Turkish pancakes.There has been one food that I have found to love in Turkey, which is
the ice cream. I have missed my mother's lovely meals and I appreciate
them now more than ever. My journey with Turkish food has been very
difficult, but I have been trying my hardest. Wish me luck
Random Update/ Thoughts
We rode today through a gorgeous countryside through Olive groves and farms. We are in Iznik tonight and tomorrow we head in to Istanbul. So excited. Sleep is demanding my attnetion right now, though, so I posted a few photos. More to come.

Hi Alicia,
ReplyDeleteI know that trying different foods is a task for you but I am glad that you tried something different.
Enjoy the rest of your trip and God Bless you and your fellow pilgrims.
Hi Alicia, What a neat goal you chose to pursue. Once I heard someone say that if they didn't like a certain food, they would try it again months later to see if their tastes had changed. That's kind of am ambitious goal, it strikes me, but the idea is certainly an admirable one! What a dear compliment you paid to your Mom's cooking. Eat on! Mama Weinmann
