eat plants (my vegetarian tumblr)
Apple tea, hummus, the echo of call to prayer, so many men trying to sell me carpets, silk scarves and burkas, very old things, restaurants with big kilim pillows instead of chairs, the best white beans ever, evil eyes, bialys street vendors, golden mosaics, windy ferry rides, lights reflecting on the Straits of Bosphorus, a bus ride to the beach, toes in the Aegean, bulk olives ordered in pantomime, nutella for breakfast, weird money, fish markets, afternoon backgammon and beer, tulips, ancient ruins, a little winery village, churches and mosques, salt-of-the-earth restaurant proprietors, so much history, oh so beautiful.
tell me about some place beautiful that you’ve been?
fave photo friday
ruins, Ephesus, 2009. (flickr | largo)
Favorite is such a strong word. I’ve got lots. Anywho, I like this picture o’ mine, makes me want to go back to Ephesus, wander down the cobbled path, find the symbol showing the way to the whore house, marvel at the ancient plumbing, stare up at that library till the sun sets, and drink apple tea.
