This blog is all about my trip to Turkey, sponsored by UCPS and the Charlotte World Affairs Council. I'll be posting lots of pictures and descriptions so children can learn about this beautiful country, its customs, and the schools!

Grade 3 - Goals 4,7.

Dr. Clarke: I have enjoyed following your travels in Turkey. I especially love the idea of cucumbers, tomatoes, and olives for breakfast. YUM!!! Will you ask that Farmer Clarke husband of yours if they are the same varieties as we would see here in the US or are they unique to Turkey? Have a great time.
ReplyDeleteThe cucumbers, tomatoes, and olives have been good...but after two weeks, I'd do anything for a bowl of Cheerios! Farmer Clarke says they are all the same....we can't figure out the eggplant, though. It's delicious!!
