A seaside monument in Izmir

And me sitting on a plank of wood, where the fishermen fish from, in Izmir.

The coast in Izmir, fishing boats, yachts, high rises.

I am home, for now.  These were places we frequented while in Izmir.  You can walk along the coast line and take in the sights, sounds and smells of Izmir.  Makeshift stands selling fresh mussels, sesame pretzels being sold from a plank of wood on some man's head, and outdoor cafe waiters enticing you to sit a spell, have some Effis and play backgammon.  That was Izmir.  Laid back.  Mellow.  Beautiful and soon to be home.
