Trabzon

Hey all,

Last week I traveled 12 hours from Ankara to Trabzon, the hometown of my wife. This was the first time ever that I've been there and it was a lot of fun. In the limited time that I had I visited quite a number of places that are of importance around the city. I've seen museums, historical buildings, surrounding spots and a whole lot of natural beauty. I've also had the chance to meet lot of my wife's relatives and family friends. We've also been to the village and surrounding area of my wife's parents. I can't begin to describe how beautiful the landscape is. Meanwhile I've kept busy and managed to pencil 5 Dynamo 5 pages too.

The people were a bit on the conservative side but very warm and hospitable nonetheless. They certainly love their culture, music and food. The accent they use is also very unique and sometimes even a bit hilarious to listen to. I've picked up a few things myself and my speech started to transform.

All this while I've ate quite a bit of food and I have to admit that the Black Sea cuisine is very compatible with my taste. Also I don't think I've had this much tea in a long time (up to 7-8 cups a day).

I've had quite a lot of fun and this was a very memorable and interesting trip. I hope to visit again sometime and do the things I missed out on this time around and also repeat quiet a bit of what I have done. Here are some photos we took on our trip.

Cheers!
