November's Scavenger Hunt

Hello dear friends.  It's been awhile since I took part in Greenthumb's Scavenger Hunt.  I hope you like this month's selection.  It has a "Turkish" theme since I just returned from Turkey. 

 A stranger we met along the roadway on our drive up the mountain.  Goats are very popular in Turkey and they have some of the most wonderful goat cheeses I have ever tasted.

Looking down onto Alanya harbour from the castle hill.

Pop Culture is worldwide.  This is the best I could come up with.

The weather was amazing and the best part was enjoying the sunsets each night.

Big bags of tea were spied at the grocery store.  They were marked 5,000 grams - over 11 pounds of tea in each bag!

Sign down the road from our home which actually an outdoor restaurant. It's a great place to experience homemade, authentic, Turkish cuisine.

Bottle(s) of water are popular since many people don't like the taste of the tap water.  It tasted fine for me but I obliged and bought bottled water.

Out and about each day was fun discovering different places.  This is the courtyard of a restaurant downtown Alanya.

My husband wearing his favorite hat and enjoying the view.

This may look like a hole in the wall but it's actually a built in bar-b-que on a balcony.

One more beautiful sunset that I just had to share with you.

Whatever you want....maybe to live in this lovely Turkish villa!

I hope you enjoyed these photos.  I'd love to hear from you when you have a chance.  Have a wonderful week!

take care,

Pat

  6. The goat is a lovely colour & has a beautiful long coat. Great view from where your husband is sitting .Amazing sunsets too. I had trouble with the Pop Culture one because I didn't really know what it was.

Loved bith sunsets and that looks a gorgeous view where your husband is sitting relaxing from as well as the view from castle hill looking down on the harbour. Great to see all the goats wandering around. Sounds like a great holiday.

  11. Hi Pat! I'm slowly making the rounds. I'm so behind! I'm glad I'm sticking with it though, because I would not have wanted to miss your Turkey collection for November's scavenger hunt! The sunsets were wonderful, and I enjoyed seeing the landscapes and vistas. Lucky you ~ It looks like you had a great trip! Happy December!
