Turkey flag

The Turks are some of the most patriotic people we have ever met.  The bright red Turkish flag was impossible to miss wherever we went in the country.

Vi, the red baklava is just the start of the story. I have a whole baklava post coming up next week and one picture that might just blow your mind (it blew me away!).
