June 5, 2016 Istanbul • Fly to Izmir • A day in the Life of an Izmir Village • Home-Hosted Lunch • Overland to Kusadasi
|
After breakfast at our hotel, we depart for our flight to Izmir, Turkey's second-largest port city (after Istanbul),
which sits on the shores of the Aegean Sea.
From here, we travel overland to one of four nearby villages - Kiriklar, Dogancilar, Belenbasi, or Karacaagac -
where we'll enjoy A Day in the Life of a Turkish village.
We'll begin with a visit to a local school (when in session)—supported by Grand Circle Foundation,
a part of the World Classroom initiative. There, we’ll be greeted warmly by the Turkish schoolchildren,
and have the chance to interact with them one on one.
Afterward, we'll enjoy a Home-Hosted Lunch with a village family,
savoring the taste of home-cooked food, and the chance to learn about the daily lives of our hosts.
Then, we'll take a stroll throuth the village center. As we walk, our Trip Leader will tell us a little more about village life in Turkey.
We then depart for our hotel in Kusadasi, a popular seaside town with a large gulet harbor,
where we enjoy dinner together thid evening.

我們在host family整個下午，彼此都感覺非常享受在一起的時光，
離開前大家又在後園菜園裡合照了一張相片。
我回美國後曾把相片寄給他們，
下面是他們大女兒的回信：
I am so happy to hear from you. I have checked the link and I really enjoyed reading and looking at the pictures.
I will show it to my family at the weekend. It was a great day, and the photos are also.
You are always welcome our home. We also learned so much from you. The Alkur Family wishes to see you again.
Lots of love,
Take care...
