Alanya ..
 the last week of our time we flew to Alanya where Mustafa and Birsen have an apartment by the sea -- and where we could enjoy their hospitality .. the sun and their friends and acquaintences.

 

 

 

 Shortly after we arrived we went to this lovely local restaurant for soup and for tea!

The building in the background in the building where Mustafa and Birsen have their apartment ... and this is the swimming pool that was part of their complex.

An evening meal with Mustafas uncle and aunt.

 

 

Breakfast on the balcony to their apartment.

 

A little lunch spot on the beach in front of their apartment.

Angry waves!!

 

Birsens birthday cake and another evening out.

Our hosts in front of their apartment complex.

 

A warm day!

 

Idris took us up to a lovely breakfast restaurant way up on a mountain overlooking Alanya.

 

Birsen and Mustafa dressed up for the wedding.

 

And us all dressed up as well

 

The ladies in their finest.

 

This was a wedding reception hall .. room for 700!

 

Lots of folks and good food.
