 On the road to Bursa--video of the scenery |
| We have lunch at the Kababci Iskender at the Botanik Park at Bursa. The building was built as a replica of an Ottoman household. |
 |
| These pictures are of the harem where the women lived together, isolated from the rest of the world. |
 |
| These wooden screens allowed women upstairs in the harem to hear the men talking and to see just a bit of what was happening in the main room of the house. |
 |
| Wedding season! This couple came to the restaurant for their reception. Everywhere we went, there were weddings. July is big wedding time in Turkey. |
 |
| Bursa is surrounded by magnificent mountains and Turkey's first ski resort. |
 |
| Osman Gazi was the first of the Seljuk sultans to rule Bursa and take over this part of the Byzantine empire. |
