Video of the day: Europe Day 79 & 80
We headed off on foot this morning to go visit the Grand Synagogue of Edirne.
On the way there, we stopped at an apothecary to pick up cough syrup and drops. I’ve been coughing for a good week and Hélène has a sore throat and is almost loosing her voice. Ricardo, our friend from Portugal and Jim, from the UK are also under the weather.
We made it to a supermarket to check it out and managed to buy beer. Our hotel is alcohol free because it is within 150 meters from a mosque.
We enjoyed a nice lunch of salads on a patio and watched city workers dig a hole to fix a water main. It almost felt like home for a while

We made it to the synagogue and they let us in after scanning our backpack. The synagogue was finished in 1909, abandoned in the 1980s and restored in 2015. Today there was an exhibition of drawings of mosques found throughout Turkey.

We made our way towards the taxi stands but managed a quick stop for chai and baklavas.
Oh no, that's too bad that you have to cycle while under the weather!
ReplyDeleteThe kids are counting down the days for their Gramma Roux days to begin again! We miss you!
Oh that is so sweet they are counting the days. I will soon confirm my days for the July visit. I miss you all as well.
