Turkey Flu
Somehow I got a mild flu a few days after arriving at the orchard. Since that first day, I have had 3 Turkish remedies, 1 yucky antibiotic (if I swallowed pills easily it wouldn't be yucky), advil, another Turkish med called Afren, and my all time favorite * Tylohot! I was told it would make me sweat and thus rid my body of the illness (side note, 'sick' is a bad word in Turkish according to Polly). Well, I don't know that I really sweated any more last night than normal, but Polly had sympathy sweating going on across the room (of course that was really due to the fact that it was so stinking hot that night). Anyway, I'm an earache and mild cough away from being 100 percent. Turkish word of the day *sicak (pronounced sijak), or hot.

So, in Turkey, you can't say when you see some one do a great job, like, "That's sick, dude!" ?

I could totally use a panache! I've been looking for them here but can't seem to find a place that makes them even though the place is overflowing with fresh fruit.
