The Orchard

We finally made it to Elazığ Friday night (July 28th). Taci's family stays at their orchard during the summer months. So far I've learned what a walnut looks like still on the tree, that the fruit containing walnuts stains, and that you can eat some apricot seeds. Taci's family has hosted other families every day except today. Polly and I have successfully taught many new Turkish friends how to play spoons (or lira) and b.s. (or liar). We learned a game from Taci's friend called 3-5-8 (3 person spades) and another called Dirty 7 (similar to uno). Turkish phrase of the day - bana bir bardak su verirmisin. Please give me a glass of water.
