Bayraktar

Andreas being Andreas and deeply invested in all things Ukraine, had to get a bayraktar model. As soon as it arrived, he built it. Here's a song for it, too: Bayraktar Song.

 

Walking Away

Walking away on the long paved area from Castle Melfi. It's not over a moat, just a way to get the passage controlled. Melfi was definitely worth the stop.

 

Bougatsa

Of all the food tours, the Sunday one was by far the best.  Our first stop was at a bougatsa store. Bougatsa is a puff pastry dough filled with something either sweet or savory. We had both - one with eurocreme and the other with a beef/lamb mixture. Both were excellent, especially since they were fresh and still warm.

 

Little Diamond Done

I've stitched this pattern before with scraps, and I will probably do it again. Another little thing to be made into an ornament.

 

Inner Diamond

I can tell I'm making real progress because I'm now on the inner diamond. That's the true center of the design.

 

Almost All

We are only missing one Ticket to Ride now.
