2 things that impress me about #Türkiye: tea & calm. Tea must be something Turkish people use as a reason or excuse to slow down & hang out. Slow travel = slowing down & seeing more of one’s surroundings.) Every mosque is welcoming.

I cannot recommend the @rijksmuseum.bsky.social enough. One of the best collections in the world.

We visit military & war museums to learn some history. Turkey’s Harbiye Military Museum gave me the opportunity to add to my “Friends of Joe” collection.
