My wife and I visited Turkey in 1988. We had endured our first English winter and spent two weeks hugging the coastal sites and sunny beaches. We returned in 1990, venturing far from the coast to the mountains of eastern Turkey, where Kurds befriended us, and we learned a little of Kurdish culture.

Kurd Friends in the Mountains is a travel memoir blog post from the Tall And True writers' website, written and narrated by Robert Fairhead.
