I'm Home

It's not that I love TIMS that much.  I just haven't had a coffee in a month and I really enjoyed this one.

My Eastern Turkey Driver


This is Ahmed. He has driven the van for the entire eastern part of turkey.  I spent a lot of time chatting  away to Ahmed. At the end of the week I discovered he really doesn't understand English nearly as well as I thought he did. 
When we got to his home town of Urfa he took us to his favorite kebab shop and then a place with live traditional Kurdish music where he busted a move doing dancing Kurdish style.  I got  to sit on pillows  on there floor.

Can someone call my dad?  The gentlemen in the picture wanted to know how many camels  my father wants for me.  He says he has  600. He needs to be home when they are dropped off  at the farm.
