Piknik at Natlıgöller

önder and Deniz treated us to a genergous piknik at "Sensitive" Lake. We had what has become the standard Turkish meal for us (coincidentally, it's also always kahvaltı ) - tomatoes, cucumber, chiles, white cheese (like feta), sausage, LOTS of bread, cherries, peaches, and tiny green plums. They got enough for a small army!

The lake we had lunch at had so many frogs (kurbağa) it was a cacophany of ribbiting the whole time, that bordered on being creepy. We then went and looked at the other lakes, which were pretty dinky, but the atmosphere was really fun - like a festival with all the Turks out picnicing and dancing.
