Visiting farmers in remote villages

 We accompanied Nonno on his visits to some very remote farmers' villages, where he handed over computers. At each place we were invited to share a traditional meal.
On our way north we had a swim in the Euphrates

Achmed, a teacher, electrician and farmer

A delicious lunch of lamb, burghul and freekeh, with side salad, bread and yoghurt, in Mohammed's home. The meal was shared on a plastic tablecloth, sitting on the floor.

We were treated like special guests - i.e. the brain was extracted from the sheep's head and presented to us especially.
