maybe it is fresh earth from transylvania

at mehmet's shop in burhaniye we have just had lunch. something has arrived in wooden crates. they are seriously wooden crates. you can see how pine logs have been split and sawed and nailed together to cross pieces to make boxes. it takes ten minutes to open each one because the nails have to be pulled out one at a time. what is in the boxes i do not know. but they are sure cool-looking boxes in the meantime.
