This could be interesting, all the directions are now in Turkish and I kind of know exactly 3 words in that language.  So if this looks weird to any of you, hey give me a break!

I've been in this country not quite 24 hours and I've already fallen love!  The Bultema's are my kind of folks, health nuts, organic food, high quality ingredients in small portions etc!  The food here is amazing, I can't wait to learn more about it.  Belgen is the cook at the cafe, she speaks very little english and my Turkish well see note above on that subject, but we already like each other.  She is a fast learner.  We spent all day together cooking and serving lunch.  She's trying to teach me her language and me teach her mine.  We did a lot of laughing!

I woke up at 6am and opened my curtains right away.  The Torros mountains are across the water, see below.  The apt is surrounded  by terraces so you can get different views from different parts of the house. 

I cooked eggs for breakfast, Jim made fresh squeezed orange juice and really strong coffee.  At 9:30 Renata and I went shopping at the market, see pics below.  Really enjoyable for a foodie like me.

the top picture is artichoke bottoms, they are just coming in season and you can buy them like this already cleaned.  The bottom photo is one produce stand of about 30, I was a little shy taking pics but will try to get bolder.

Met lots of people today, from Finland, the Netherlands, Russia, and even Pam who is from Seabeck Washington, about one hour from Sequim!!

Tomorrow I will try to take more pictures of the lunch we are giving for International Women's Day.  After lunch Renata is going to teach line dancing!  That should be a hoot.

Hey does anybody know how to change the language on this thing ??!!
