沉醉在土耳其(一)- 迟到的游记

1.1 迟到的游记

这真算得上是一份迟到的游记。

窗外,是漫天飞舞的雪花,正是多伦多的严冬季节。躲在温暖的小屋里,计划着2009春天的旅行,充满欣喜和跃跃欲试。实在是不大好意思还拖着2007土耳其之行的游记,于是在一年之后,趁着记忆尚未完全退色之前,拿起笔,记录下旅行中的点点滴滴,因为 - 想记住如画的风景,想怀念相遇的缘分,想留住异域的魅惑,想给没有去过的朋友一个分享......

这里横跨欧亚两大洲;这里有灿烂的阳光,蔚蓝的大海,壮丽的山峦;这里可以追忆古帝国的辉煌,凭吊古文明的印迹...... 这里是神奇而又别样的风情万种。去感受一下吧,这个你无法想象的国度!十几天的行走,我沉醉在这个一点也不土的充满魅惑力的土耳其。
