diyarbakir


I guess it's part of the Mesopatamian plain, stark, rocky, hot,



Diyarbakir has a wonderful old caravanserai, with some
shops, a big courtyard & balconies where you can drink tea



& a mosque that looks like an early Greek (or Roman?) base
overlaid with kufic inscriptions, it's so battered it
looks comfortable with such a mix.
There's no doubt more to see there than we did.

its lucky books by artists isn't close by, too tempting
