Turkish Delights

The internets been out so that's my excuse for the lack of posts! So here's an update. While my dad was here we went to the Black Sea. Sixteen hours total in a car with four people in a three seats is not the most luxurious trip but it was interesting all the same. My grandparents came from a village way up in the mountains of the Black Sea. My grandfather was on the bottom of the mountain and my grandmother was closer to the top. He came to the city eventually and that's where they ended up living. My great grandmother still lives in her "Er" village were everyone is related to us somehow. Modern life can be apparent here and there. Amidst the old houses a new apartment building was built. There's plumbing and washing machines. It was very eerie thinking of my ancestors living like that but it was interesting.
