Our weekend was filled with warm sunshine, a table
full of food and surrounded by new friends.
Now, we’re back in cold, dreary and rainy Istanbul.
I
already miss sitting outside with a glass of wine in a short-sleeves shirt and
admiring the lush green country side near Gönyeli,
North Cyprus.

Although we told ourselves we weren’t going to
travel in December, we couldn’t help ourselves. We snapped up fairly
inexpensive tickets to North Cyprus via Pegasus Airlines so we could visit our Cypriot friends.
(Pegasus is always offering deals to destinations in Turkey and Europe. Seriously,
sign up for the email newsletter.)
One of our friends, Umut, was hosting his third
annual “Thanksmas” party. I volunteered to help make my pumpkin pies and hubby
would help chop, prep things for the party. My new mantra is have apron, will
travel!
Speaking of which, I have some holiday baking to
work on so it’s time for me to don my apron and get in the kitchen. Editing
photos and working on a new blog post will have to wait.
Here are some of my previous posts about traveling
in beautiful North Cyprus.
More to come soon!

"Have apron will travel" - love it!
@Barbara, thank you! In fact, I ended up leaving my 2 favorite aprons at our friend's place. Hopefully they don't get lost in the mail on their return to Istanbul. :-)
As usual, can't keep up with you, Joy. :) Hope you get your aprons back and hope to catch up with you in 2013...we're pining for Istanbul as we didn't get up there for the run this year so am suspecting we'll be up there soonish... :)
what fun! you sure have great adventures!
@Julia, I know. Definitely let me know when you are heading this way again!
@Joyce, thanks! We sure are having fun trying to see as much as we can.
