Tomorrow I post our Kars Part 2 video and we take you to Ani Harabeleri, the ancient Armenian Empire and land of 1,001 churches! Most tourists to Turkey never make it to this UNESCO site right on the Armenian boarder. But I will take you there and you can see it from the comfort of your home!

Happy Wednesday! I am working on our Day 2 Kars video and I can’t wait to share it Friday!!! This one is all about our day trip to Ani Harabeleri and another awesome restaurant rec!

EX-PAT FOOD: Pork-less Red beans and rice! (BONUS: biscuit recipe)

Happy Easter! He is Risen!

Our family celebrates Easter (even here in İzmir!) which is on April 4th this year. This week is what we call Holy Week leading up to celebrating the death and resurrection of Christ. We decided as a family to take some time away from social media. We will miss you but be back next Monday!

Yesterday morning we told Sofia that it was to cold to go out for a bike ride yet (which it was chilly) and it made us laugh. Just last week we were bundling up every day to go out in waaaayyyyy colder temperatures!
