Turkish Delights

Lokum is cubes of jelly-like fruit confection sweetened with honey, filled with nuts and dusted with powdered sugar. They serve it three meals a day. Baklava has about twenty variations and apricots are everywhere.
One of the other delights are the lines enticing us into stores: "Hey, Angels, I'm Charlie" or "Buy one, get me for free." We have completely resisted buying a rug -well an oriental mouse pad perhaps...
Visited Suleymaniye Complex with its mosque, hospital, public kitchen & school, followed by being at Rustem Pasa Mosque then up to Cembeitas Hammam to take a Turkish bath. All three buildings were created by Sinan who designed over 477 buildings.
