Recently, we were invited by our friends Nicole and Burak, to join the IWAI ( International Women's Association of Izmir) for an olive oil factory tour, about an hour north of Izmir. It has probably been the most interesting and fun time for all of us since we have been here! As you can see, Viktoria and Isabella (her parents Mehmet and Jane own the olive factory) became fast friends. After the factory tour we drove just a few km's to a local olive grove, owned by a turkish/french couple. They not only let us partake in the harvesting of olives, but invited us up to the terrace to taste some Turkish wine and of course their olives! Afterwards, we all ( 15 or so of us) drove to the nearby seaside for an wonderful fish dinner. As you can see, the kids had so much fun with their new friends, especially playing in the olive groves and collecting rocks from the seaside. We all witnessed a local fisherman pull an octopus out of the sea!!
