To complete the picture, I will introduce you to the third lady. Curious about the commotion outside, this little woman came to her window as well. It was so funny because next she brought her newborn grandchild over to the window, I assume to show her off & she was beautiful- perfect little face & full head of black hair- cok guzel! After ample show casing of the new baby, the proud grandmother made her way out to chat with us as well. Even though she said very little (she was the shy one of the group), she seemed content to be part of the action. After sipping tea & talking for quite sometime, we realized we should be on our way. We gathered the dishes & took them down for the sweet little woman who had traversed the steep stairs in her feeble condition to join us. As we said our good byes, we got their address & promised to send copies of the photos. They showered us with big hugs & Turkish kisses (on both cheeks) & wished for us good husbands & marriages for the future. We giggled & thanked them, knowing in their world, this was the greatest gift a woman could receive. I will never forget that chance meeting, it was wonderful & I am so glad that we wondered down that crooked street.
