Our weekend was filled with warm sunshine, a table full of food and surrounded by new friends.
Now, we�re back in cold, dreary and rainy Istanbul.
I already miss sitting outside with a glass of wine in a short-sleeves shirt and admiring the lush green country side near G�nyeli, North Cyprus.

Although we told ourselves we weren�t going to travel in December, we couldn�t help ourselves. We snapped up fairly inexpensive tickets to North Cyprus via Pegasus Airlines so we could visit our Cypriot friends. (Pegasus is always offering deals to destinations in Turkey and Europe. Seriously, sign up for the email newsletter.)
One of our friends, Umut, was hosting his third annual �Thanksmas� party. I volunteered to help make my pumpkin pies and hubby would help chop, prep things for the party. My new mantra is have apron, will travel!
Speaking of which, I have some holiday baking to work on so it�s time for me to don my apron and get in the kitchen. Editing photos and working on a new blog post will have to wait.
Here are some of my previous posts about traveling in beautiful North Cyprus.
More to come soon!
