As the title to this post suggests, we be shopping in Mardin. Grant, Eunice, Doro and Mark will all be receiving gifts from this lovely little town when we get home!
We haven't taken our own photo yet of Mardin, so we borrowed this one after a Google image search. As you can see, the town is situated on top of a hill/mini mountain.
This is the view from our hotel's (Erdoba) terrace.
Another view from our terrace. On the hill to the right you can see the crescent moon and star from the Turkish flag.
Me looking kinda constipated on the terrace. Definetly was NOT constipated....yah....uh huh...Sultan swung by for a quick visit...The Sultan does not discriminate between bay (men) and bayan (women) so Lance was also greeted by the Sultan.
Our modest little room....with vaulted ceilings
Last nights feast was a gluten sensitivity NIGHTMARE but was so good. This was a traditional dish of lamb and bulgur washed down with local red wine in goblets (reminded us of medieval times in Vegas hah!). We actually liked them so much we bought some for our house. Dustin, I know this speaks to you. We got a set of four. Gillespie party time!
This is the little shop where we bought our goblets, a serving tray and water vessel....all hand made by this guy:
Yes Doro....we got you something here too....and it might look a little something like THIS:
Or maybe not. You will just have to wait and see.
We have one more night in our castle on a hill before we head to the little town of Savur. I don't think we will have internet access there as it is quite remote but we will post again as soon as possible.
Love you lots,
Lamy
