Me and my son are my mother's guests in İzmir Aliağa today.☺
This is truly an amazing city!
I am a person who was born and raised in Izmir. This city is one of the rare cities that live and keep alive all the unique beauties and features of Mediterranean culture.
People love to have fun, share a good time, laugh together, dance and chat with turkish coffee and turkish delight.😉
Enjoying life and sharing this pleasure and resting at the same time are things that have to be for the people of this place.
Here's what my mother, son and I did on a day in Izmir when we got together...
The use of motorbikes is very common in this region. Since we are in a quiet beach town, my mother especially prefers to go everywhere by motor... My son prefers bicycles, and I generally prefer walking
This time, I accompanied my mother on the motorbike while I was walking half the way.
My son has decided to lose weight because he thinks he is getting fat these days. So the bike is even more suitable for him now.
Maybe you know. We Turks like tea very much. After putting our tea in our thermos, we are ready for a beach tour and picnic.
The weather is slightly windy and warm.. The summer season begins here.. It is not as hot as a summer day yet.. A day with the smell of sea and grass like spring...
God what is that? From somewhere walking on the beach
I smell wonderful, appetizing fish and I can't think of anything else but to buy fish.
After a while, I see my mother and son, who got off the motorbike and were walking to the fishermen's shelters. He thought the same thing as me and decided to buy fish.
We look at the fish aisle.. The fish is always fresh from the sea and fresh.
Fish dealers or shopkeepers always ask their customers while cleaning fish or preparing something:
"Will you drink tea, sister?"
As always, we have a pleasant and entertaining conversation, we laugh a lot and thank you for the tea. Soon we will take our fish and drink our tea under a beautiful tree.
and we found our place!
While we lay on the grass and sip our tea, my son is looking for treasure with a treasure map in his hand :)
Map South America map ;)
He has always loved trees too, and he spends time on the tree.
And I love beeing under it too...
All thoughts fly away.
Just the smell of the sea, grass and peace..
and the sun is slowly sinking...
The day is over and the evening begins.
and I leave the day here.
