First foods

Typical Turkish breakfast- three cheeses, sliced cucumbers, a peeled tomato, mixed olives, jams, and butter. I ate this outside at a cafe overlooking the Bosphorus. A stunning view of the water will make any meal taste good. Turkish coffee (served in a small demitasse cup) and breads with the kahvalti.
A tower of eggroll look-alike desserts dripping with a thick caramel sauce.
Various pickled things in jars on a side street off of the main drag, Istiklal.

  1. Food is a most memorable part of study abroad. Looks like you're enjoying the food. I'm enjoying your blog. Keep us Simmons kids updated.
