Small town hospitality...
One of our new little friends in Afyon...
We were on our way to Alanya and stopped off in Afyon to take some photos and stretch our legs. All five of us were equipped with cameras and smiles. We started exploring the old part of the city with it's intimate colorful alleys. We all were stalking a mother hen and her three different colored chicks for a photo...so cute. We stumbled upon two little boys running up and down this stairwell. I was tired just watching them. There was also a little covered woman sticking her head out the window. She was getting some sun and hanging a rug on her clothesline. She offered us tea and we accepted. She brought us pillows to sit on. The little boys were wrestling and showing off for the camera. They were so sweet and ran up the hill to pick us girls little yellow daisies. A few other women came out of their houses to meet us, Yobancı orencı(foriegn students). We all felt so welcomed by these total strangers. It was a beautiful day of sipping sweet tea and meeting new friends.
