In Need of Little Paradise

Its funny, how it goes, there have been only a few weeks of cold weather and I’m already complaining about it and want to be in some place much warmer, like where those two girls are. Of course that was in the summer and it is probably not so warm there now, but there are plenty of places around the world where one can enjoy the same clear and warm waters right at this moment. People always look funny at me and make jokes when I complaint about cold weather in the winter time. It goes something like this, they say – ‘you grew up in some fu**g Siberia, you should feel at home in the cold’, the same stupid stereotype over and over. Me, being generally nice and polite, I usually back at them with the fact that I have lived in the South, that is US South for almost 20 years and I’m not use to cold anymore, and in fact I didn’t grow up in Siberia. While yes growing up in Central Asia, we had some pretty darn harsh winters, but it was no Siberia, not every Russian comes from Siberia.

Turkey Blue

Quick one today. I saw this wall at our resort in Turkey and kind of liked this pattern, so here you go. Like it or hate it. Have a good weekend everyone.

Dinner Time in Istanbul

Yesterday I mentioned that a lot of people like the food cooked on those floating boat kitchens. Today I want to follow up and provide some evidence. What I don’t know is what type of food they cook on those boats. I think it is mainly grilled fish (the other side of the boat mentions BALIKI – fish), with some side items.

Anyone have first hand knowledge on this subject and can comment?

We didn’t have a chance to eat any food cooked on these boats, yes, those boats are floating kitchens, and based on the large number of people buying their food it must be good. Maybe next time when we visit this city we will have opportunity to taste some of their tasty dishes, whatever they are.

Where is this place? Probably an easy one for many of you, especially if you follow my blog. Thanks for stopping by!

I love those Mediterranean looking roofs. There is something earthily about them, don’t you think? I see many of them in US as well, so where is this one?

Saturday update…A few of you suggested that it is somewhere in Europe. It is Antalya Turkey!
