Today we went to the DC Turkish Festival, held on Freedom Plaza near the White House. There was live music, food, dancing, shopping, and crafts for kids. Nikki and I took Turkish together at UT so it's kind of our thing. We'd love to study it again. In fact, Nikki found out that one of the American Turkish Association representatives has a two year old son and she tried to start a bilingual playgroup with him. He was non-committal but invited us to some Turkish lessons.
Georgie enjoyed the yogurt drink called Ayran. Nikki and I also each had a helping of döner kebap, some Cola Turka, and some Turkish delight.
Here we are petting a very nice (and very large) Anatolian Shepherd (Çoban Köpeği), the national dog of Turkey.
The highlight of the festival was Georgie making a bracelet with a Turkish evil eye on it.
She also did a glue and colored sand picture of Atatürk.
Our little Ottoman.
