I’m curious what’s the time difference on this?

I believe they’re 11 hrs ahead of MT

Amazing. Thank you for sharing! I spent a summer in Istanbul back in college. The rich history and culture is something that leaves an imprint on you. Could go on for hours. Did you try Ayran?

I didn’t. I didn’t actually hear about it until on the way back home in the Istanbul airport. I should have, but I was nervous to try something new before boarding a 12 hour flight…
How is it?

When I first got there, I didn't like it at all. Best I can describe it, it's salt, water, and plain yogurt mixed together. Some folks put mint or cucumber in it, but I never had those. It was served ice cold.
Took awhile but by the end of the summer, I had it with most lunches and dinners. Went well with all the grilled meats we ate!

Looks like a great adventure. Congrats to both of you on the billies and the little one on the way.

That country looks like it could support a ton of mule deer.

Pretty sure that's the same thing they call chalap in Kyrgyzstan. It tasted like a horse smells.

Heck of an adventure. Good luck with the new addition to the family.

Congrats all around on a great adventure and stepping off into another big one with the baby.
