PODCAST FROM MT. IDA

Yes, it's the long-promised podcast, after our first long day on the road and may we have few again like it, Inshallah. Can you spell cranky? But our mighty troupe kept a pleasant facade until cajoled into genuine delight in a private olive grove filled with wildflowers and men bearing artichokes. And so begin the gifts from the Kazda Mountains, 6 hours southwest of Istanbul, where the wildflowers are as legendary as this mountain of the Goddess. Give a listen to the podcast and check back soon to see which of the many promised floral treasures we spy.
