All Aboard | Our Train Ride

Last Saturday we decided to take the train to go to Santa Barbara. We drove to Oxnard and boarded the train going north.It was Melodi’s first train ride, and she was so excited about it. It was amazing to see her sing and shout “All aboaaard!”.

During our 1 hour ride we were able to enjoy the scenery of beautiful Pacific ocean.  And it was just perfect! There were many camping areas, beautiful beaches and pretty streets on our way and it made us think that life is really good in California, and we’re grateful to be living in this pretty state.

When we arrived Santa Barbara, we rented a big family bike and rode by the sea. And later we enjoyed the beach. It was such a fun day!

I’m Turkish, so Turkish coffee has always been part of my life ☕️🇹🇷 But after my trip to Türkiye this summer, I came home and somehow made it part of my daily routine.I’m normally a filtered coffee person, but Turkish coffee feels less like “just coffee” and more like a little ritual. You make it slowly, sit down, drink it slowly, and usually end up having a conversation while you’re at it.And then comes the fun part… coffee fortune telling. 🔮In Turkish culture, after you finish your coffee, you turn the cup upside down on the saucer and let the leftover grounds create patterns. Once the cup cools, someone reads those shapes and tries to interpret what they might mean — a road, a bird, a heart, money, travel… basically, whatever they can see. 😂It’s not really about taking tthe fortune seriously. It’s more of a fun tradition and an excuse to sit together, talk, gossip a little, and see what the cup has to say.And somehow, after my trip, I started doing it by myself. 😂So now I make my Turkish coffee, enjoy my little moment, turn the cup over… and wait for the universe to tell me what’s next. ☕️🔮🤎Have you ever tried Turkish coffee or had your fortune read from the coffee grounds?#Turkishcoffee#immigrantstories #turkish #traditions
