Part 10, Turkey 2011: The Cold Blue Waters of Lake Van

[___io___]

Van is a strange city. Nestled between snowcapped mountains on one side and the vast Lake Van on the other, it feels as though it's set into a hidden corner of the world. Despite its size, there are virtually no recognizable brands, the population is almost completely Kurdish, as is the food, and when you're here everyone knows you're an outsider.

Beautiful!

Those cats are so charming. You made the right choice, in my opinion, by not rescuing the one from the small cage. It would have been impossible to travel with it or to get it home.
I love the blouse you're wearing in these photos, too. :)
