Travelling without a schedule or list of must-visit spots is less about being footloose and fancy free and more about going with the flow and trusting that the universe will guide you in the right direction. Meeting Merin at the yoga farm was exactly as it should have been because I’ve found a member of my soul family, and have found a home with her and her mom, Dilek.
I’ve spent the last five days living with these wonderful women in their home in Izmir, learning about unconditional and limitless Turkish hospitality and generousity. I’ve also eaten my way through a variety of Dilek’s dishes, resturant supplies each one more delicious than the last. She is a fantastic cook, but also adapted her menus to suit my vegan diet.
Here is why my pants feel a little tighter at the end of this week… Breakfast: boyoz (round pastry for which Izmir is well known), gevrek (sesame seed bread ring), Çilek Reçeli (strawberry jam – homemade), zeytin (olives), domates (tomatoes) resturant supplies and a red pepper, tomato and walnut spread.
Raki, resturant supplies an aniseed liquor, is far more than a drink. It is an opportunity resturant supplies to gather friends around a table, eat delectable mezze and chat and laugh late into the night. Pour a shot or two of raki into a tallish glass, add water and then the ice (the order is important). Cheers everyone at the table, resturant supplies as well as those not present. Drink slowly. Wait for the chatter and giggles to set in.
