We had a great time

Hey hey… glad your checking out the blog! If you got the latest newsletter you know a bit about what is happening in theBetween’s studio. We are busy… actually we have a deadline! We have lots of work to get through before we are ready to go to Nashville for the mixing, but I guess the deadline thing is good… it’ll get us in motion for completion.

I have a few photos that I’ll post in this blog from turkey. OK… I have to say, and this may intrigue you, most of the toilets aren’t like ours at all. Without getting into too much potty humor and other details I’ll say that they are different, not better or worse than ours. It’s like a hole in the ground really. That’s it. Ya, there are “regular” toilets for us westerners but for the most part they use these “squatters” instead. Don’t picture a literal hole in the dirt, they are porcelain and they flush… they are just a little different that’s all…

Anyway… the food was amazing. The biggest difference is that instead of butter they use olive oil. Instead of salad dressing, olive oil. If there is any reason it would seem to put anything on anything they tend to use olive oil. They even use olive oil for their oil lamps. Lot’s of the sauces that have cooked meat or veggies in them are tomato and you guessed it… olive oil. Now whenever I smell olive oil I can vividly picture so many of the great meals I ate over in Turkey.



The people are wonderful and treated us to many a cup of “Chai” (Turkish tea… really strong stuff served in a small handle-less cup… usually they water it down with water to taste).

hope you are well, keep checking for more photos!
