As you can see, presentation is very important to Tori and Streicher!! Tori wanted to make sure you could see her triscuit cracker on top of four baby cucumbers and a small caper to top it all off!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
We had a wonderful Thanksgiving celebration at NATO, where the 3 star General "coined" both Tori and Streicher. I hope to have the photo of our dinner posted soon.
TOMMY AND GIZEM
MISC PHOTOS
Here are a few miscellaneous photos that I thought were cute. First, Tori and Streicher are paying their respects while praying during one of the five daily muslim prayer sessions. The second photo is Tori having her favorite treat...cay tea and simit (turkish sesame breadring). The next photo was taken early in the morning when Tori found 5 ytl under her pillow in exchange for her 2nd lost tooth! The last one is of Tori in front of the Virgin Mary's House where you can write down a prayer on a napkin and hang it on the wall.
MT. BABA & DALYAN (Fishery town)
This was a great two overnight trip we took in October. As you can see, the weather was still very nice and warm enough to swim! This area is in the southwestern region of Turkey, very beautiful. The first photo is from a carpet factory we visited. We were surprised to find that most carpets take between 1-3 years to complete! The kids had alot of fun, as there were other children their age on the trip. Notice the 2500 year old Lycian Rock Tombs in the background of the picture of Streicher on the boat, amazing!!
OLIVE OIL FACTORY
KAHVALTI (Breakfast)
THE VIRGIN MARY'S HOUSE-EPHESUS/SELCUK
This trip was actually taken back in September with our landlord, Tulin. Tori and I were advised to wear a headscarf while entering the Virgin Mary's House, it was a very spiritual experience, especially for Tori. Another picture of Streicher and Rob on one of our very first bus experiences...can you say "no safety laws!!"

OLU DENIZ
Here are some recent photos of our trip to OluDeniz. This area is in the southwestern part of Turkey and very mountainous alongside the Mediterranean. It was so beautiful. Notice the picture of Rob with the hangliders in the sky. We took the kids to an area known as the Blue Lagoon, and the water was both warm and crystal clear!

NATO HALLOWEEN PARTY
What an unforgettable day we had at the NATO Halloween party. Rob was part of the committee that organized trick or treating, apple bobbing and fishing for a local orphanage (30 kids took part), as well as all the international children of NATO. As you can see, Tori enjoyed having her fish cleaned, however, Streicher was a bit shocked to see the tail still on the grilled fish! Last picture is of Streicher and Audrey at the apple bobbing area...Strikey had 3 apples!
