Grill Out

Over this last weekend Molly and Volkan invited me to their apartment complex's grill out.  I met many Turkish and was introduced to one college man who goes to school in Sile, locate don the Black Sea. He and I traded contact info.  I'm excited to be in contact with him since he is around my age and he lives 5 minutes from me.  I haven;t found my of theose people - around my age and lives near by - oh yeah, he speaks a bit of English, too. While I was there I had my first taste of Raki, a black liquorish liquor.  I think I enjoyed it .

Chicken was the main course served at the grill out.  Side items included the traditional Turkish salad, hot peppers and chips. Other drinks included beer (the Turkish beer is pretty nice), wine, water and pop.  Again, the people are so very generous, taking pride in being hospitable, all the while feeling satisfaction in doing so.  I like that.  I think we all can.  And we all do that too.
