TRAVEL THE WORLD - DALYAN, TURKEY

It was very rainy while we were in Dalyan in 2006, to the extent that one evening there was a power outage that lasted for a couple of hours. The highlight of our time in the town was an outdoor restaurant which specialized in traditional Turkish cooking. As Turkish cuisine is thought to be among the best in the world, we looked forward to our lunch. We chose a type of stew that is cooked in a clay pot. Traditionally, the pot is broken open; however, the modern pot that you can see in the photo allowed access to the food without damaging the pot. It was truly delicious, and the charm of the young waiter added to our enjoyment.
