Turkey - food.

There are fresh fruit/vegetable markets EVERYWHERE in Turkey! They were everywhere in Egypt too! It was definitely something I missed when I moved back to the States after having lived in Egypt. In Antalya, some of the markets are 'traveling' markets. They are in one part of the city one day, another part of the city another day, etc.

This is the pazar (market) in Jim and DeeAnn's village. It comes on Saturday mornings until around noon. Then the folks pack up and travel to another village for the afternoon.

These two pictures are from Izehi and Dania's pazar (market). It comes on Thursday afternoons.

mmm... fresh spinach and parsley! ...and big, beautiful grapes! Don't you agree that we should have something like this in America? It's convenient and most of all, it's fresh!
Tavuk (chicken) spinning on a rod in the open air. Tavuk doners (chicken snadwiches) are a popular food item. There's chicken, cucumber, tomato, and a slice of cheese inside of these sandwiches. I guess you just have to get over the fact that the meat you are eating has been spinning around in the open air just before it's sliced off and put into your sandwich!
And a discovery the Reynolds introduced us to on our first day in Antalya - TWISTERS! These are ice cream bars that have a juicy fruit ice cream bar in the center with swirls of pistaccio and lime flavors wrapped around it. It's like a fresh sherbert on a bar! SOOOO good!
