The overnight bus from Canakkule had arrived back in Istanbul slightly before midnight, ending my ten day vacation in Turkey. This allowed me approximately three hours to shower and then nap, before heading to the airport for my flight back home to the United States.

It made me so happy to find a kiosk selling simits at the airport in Istanbul! I was able to enjoy this yummy vegan Turkish treat for one more time! Fresh and warm right out of the oven, made this snack feel especially wonderful!

Onboard my Air France flight, my VGML vegan breakfast was served. A sandwich baguette filled with baby corn, eggplant slices, tomatoes, lettuce, and cucumbers was my tasty option! It was served with a succulent bowl of mixed fruit. Air France knows how to take care of vegans!

Several hours had elapsed and lunch time had drawn near. I was served the VGML vegan entree of couscous with raisins and sliced zucchini, a salad, a sweet bread, and some mixed fruit. The meal was very flavorful!

For an afternoon dessert snack, a sweet croissant was my offering.

As my flight landed back in Boston, I reminisced about my amazing ten day vacation in Turkey! The wonderful vegan foods, the ornate palaces and beautiful churches and mosques in Istanbul, the fascinating rock formations in Cappadocia, the breath-taking calcium thermal water pools in Pamukkale, the impressive ancient city ruins at Ephesus, and the legendary civilization of Troy would all be permanently ingrained in my mind!
