What a wonderful time Aundreta and I had visiting Cathy in her old Ottoman office behind Ince Minare in Zafer, downtown Konya. We saw the rooms the old generals used in the 1800s, and the beautiful restoration of paint and artwork of the day. To look out the window and see young students drinking tea, from Osmanli Cafe, I was reminded of the rich history of the city. Much of what we learn is passed by word-of-mouth, in bits and pieces--yet what we learn is not easy to forget, as it is clothed in warm thoughts, and joy of sharing. Maybe that is a better way to learn things, sometimes. Small bites, easy to digest, pleasant to experience.
