We went to Sapanca (Sa-pon-ja) to visit Egemen, James, Santina, and Hunni (the dog) over the Bayram holiday. About 72 miles southeast of Istanbul, the town of about 31,000 people doesn't have much recreation, but it was a very relaxing get-a-way. I recorded a tour of their house, but Blogger is refusing to load it; However, here's a view of their neighborhood from their house:
Barbecue chicken/sausage dinner on the terrace. A delicious meal and a gorgeous night.
Messing around on the mountainside.
Although it was closed, James and Egemen got the officer at a private zoo to let us take a quick look around the premises. The zoo had a variety of farm animals, llamas, flamingos, and what I think was a lynx. It had man-made ponds, bright green lawns, lodgings where artists could stay and paint/sculpt their surroundings, and a barn with tricked out Harleys and an old fighter plane.
