While she’s waiting for her house to be a new color, Zeynep is baking gözleme (filled pancakes). The dough has risen, a fire will soon be started under the metal lens, dough will be rolled thin and filled with a cheese/herb mixture and then baked quickly on the hot iron plate. Yum!!

It took two days, but it looks great. the only part left to do is the door area. This idea of painting the strips where the windows are a contrasting color seems to be popular in this area. I helped pick out the colors…

one of Zeynep’s handmade rugs – done in twisted garter stitch and intarsia for the colors. The rugs are done in strips (in this case three), then sewed together and given another smaller strip border. Very durable!

Behind him there are stairs which lead directly into the center of town. When I visited this town I felt right away that this was a place I would be comfortable living, given the opportunity.

Looking back the other way from the river, you can see some of the normal city bustle. You can also see mountains rising on the other side of the city. Amasya is beautifully tucked into a valley with mountains rising all around, it has a very cosy feeling because of it.

Hi, good news! Some new pages on this site are photos license to wed dvdrip that are finally getting uploaded (I can hear cheers from the bleacher seats). For those who don’t know, I’m back in the US for a couple months of R&R before returning to Istanbul after Thanksgiving. More than just R&R, this has been an opportunity to catch up on a lot of loose ends that were just left dangling for about eight months because I was too busy working to tend to them.

Current Read: Time and Again, by Jack Finney. A man from modern day New York is sent back to New York of 1882. Will he want to return to the 20th century?
