Food, Glorious Food!

One of the many highlights of a holiday is experiencing the new food offerings of where ever you are. Turkey was no exception. The food was lovely (the water, on the other hand, is another story entirely).

Most of the restraunts were roof top terraces. There is something incredibly romantic about sitting on a rooftop, watching the sun dip behind the mountain, staring at the boats coming into the harbour. Romantic even with a 2.75 and 5 year old in tow. Imagine what it would have been like without the kiddos, lol. Here are a few pics of us at the various places to eat.

And the food was glorious (and I forgot to take many pictures). The kebabs, the Calamari, the Shrimp, the Lamb, yum!
The stuffed lamb (stuffed with rice, potatoes and herbs) had been roasted whole for 12 hours! It was butter knife tender and oh, so good!

This was called the Sultan's Harem and described as being fit for a king! German loved it.

The presentation of the Ishkender Kebab was almost as nice as the dish itself. Almost.

One of the restraunts was owned by a magician, who entertained the girls (and us--the card tricks were incredible!)

German did a lot of playing around with photographing lights and glass. Here are two of our favorite shots from the trip.

Even breakfast was an event! Eating poolside! Fresh bread delivered to our door each morning. Lovely jam. Amazing Apple Chai. Yum!

The light is beautiful shining through the glass on the table!
