It really is hot... did I mention that?
At the appointed scoff time, and with prayers ringing out through loudspeakers in the surrounding minarets we went out to eat at the "City Club" where we were married ten years ago. It doesn't seem that long really but it's changed a bit since then. It's under new management now and the entrance has moved to a different corner but essentially it's not a lot different inside.
We ate "on the terrace" while watching the world go by. It was lovely although still boilin'. I had the lamb and Mrs E had the beef. I wore the McCleod. Mrs E wore blue. We drank çay (Turkish tea)
Didn't get pictures of the main course but we did grab the traditional Turkish Ramazan puddings.
Güllaç (pron: Goolach) Sort of a milky rice pudding. Gorgeous.
Kadayif (Pron: ka-day-if) Kind of like shredded wheat covered in honey. Delicious. Needless to say, we shared.
Time for a photo-op before strolling out. They don't get many kilts in these here parts. Full length Kilt hose?? Yerrr muss be jokin'...
One more of the front before...
Out on the main drag, promenadin'...
Right... I've had enough!
I'm off home before I trickle down the gutter. Check out the sweaty back...
Ice cold beers at home in the fridge me thinks...
To conclude, I'll probably wear my kilt again in Turkey... but not in August.
