A
close up of the loom. It is
wider the entire carpet, and see
how tightly the loom holds each
thread vertically, so that she
may run the colored threads
perfectly horizontally. Such
patience and time does it
take to create these carpets.

Some
local boys play
the game of champions.
The World Cup was well under

and soccer was on the mind

Team USA and Team Turkey
were both doing exceedingly
well!

lined roads and tiled streets,
Marmaris is a lovely little resort
town. Full of English and Germans
and Americans (though not as

especially the coast, caters
to tourists, and in my opinion is
safer than most American cities. |

hot tea on as we shopped for
our first carpets while in Turkey.
Being offered hot tea is a
ubiquitous occurrence in Turkish
carpet shops.
