We tried a variety of wraps over our four meals there, and the Adana Durum pictured above was our favorite. The frothy drink is called ayran, which is yogurt water (sounds gross, but is delicious) – a must have with any Turkish meal!https://chamborres.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/13.jpgçiğ köftePossibly our favorite Turkish appetizer, çiğ köfte, is made from bulgur, tomato and dried pepper. The dish originally contained ground beef as well, but nowadays is purely vegetarian. Served with lettuce and lemon, it is a great way to start a meal. https://chamborres.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/12.jpgPottery kebabOnce opened, the bubbling goodness is revealed. But, watch out for chips of clay! https://chamborres.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/11.jpgPottery kebabOur waiter handed Amy this knife and said “kill him.” It was a very confusing interaction. Turns out this is the traditional (or perhaps invented for tourists) way to open up Turkish pottery kebabs. Enclosed clay pots are filled with meat, vegetables and bulgur, covered with dough and put into a fire. Once ready, tapping a few times with a sword opens them right up.https://chamborres.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/10.jpgHummusEach dish of hummus we had in Turkey was very unique; ranging from creamy to grainy and with a variety of spices.

In this mosque, however, the interior was scrapped away and completely redone. Controversy aside, it gave us a feel of what the mosque may have looked like when initially constructed. https://chamborres.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/151.jpgSüleymaniye MosqueThe sunny day on which we visited Süleymaniye made for a vibrant contrast between the blue sky and stone white minarets. https://chamborres.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/142.jpgSüleymaniye MosqueThis is the area where Muslims wash their hands, feet and face before entering the mosque to pray.https://chamborres.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/141.jpg14https://chamborres.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/131.jpgThe New MosqueOnly in Istanbul would the "new" mosque refer to a mosque built over 400 years ago. https://chamborres.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/121.jpgLittle Hagia SophiaThe restoration and maintenance in the Little Hagia can be seen in this ornate painting in the central dome.https://chamborres.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/111.jpgLittle Hagia SophiaBehind the Minbar, you can see the apse of the former church that this mosque used to be, the Church of the Saints Sergius and Bacchus.https://chamborres.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/101.jpgLittle Hagia SophiaWe found visiting the Little Hagia Sophia much more enjoyable than its well-known counterpart simply due to the lack of crowds. It is named as such because it is thought to have served as a model for the Hagia Sophia.https://chamborres.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/91.jpgHagia SophiaThe juxtaposition of Christianity and Islam can be seen by the tile mosaic of the Virgin Mary with Jesus in the background of the Minbar.2012-07-12T14:47:23+00:00monthlyhttps://chamborres.com/2012/05/08/guangzhou-our-doorway-to-china/https://chamborres.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/dsc_1133-800x533.jpgTemple of the Six Banyon Trees The smell of burning incense fills the area at the Temple of the Six Banyon Trees.https://chamborres.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/dsc_0010-533x800.jpgGuangzhou Street FoodMike souping up the eggs with some HOT hot sauce.https://chamborres.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/dsc_0008-800x533.jpgGuangzhou Street FoodFried eggs on a skewer, what an incredible invention!https://chamborres.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/dsc_1116-800x533.jpgGuangzhou MuseumEntry to the history exhibit at the Guangzhou Museum.https://chamborres.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/image004-410x273.jpgGuangzhou MTRJust another day in the Guangzhou metro.
