From the emails: a traveler's description of Izmir, Turkey
I was up a lot during the night. S. couldn't sleep and she heard the Muslim call to prayer coming through the windows. It was very eerie. It didn't sound like a call to prayer resonating through the empty streets. It had a seriously ghostly sound like lamenting spirits. I don't think the city sleeps, though. Even the fruit markets below R's apartment are open 24 hours. All the food places, including McDonald's and Burger King, deliver.
