When my Canadian friend came over to stay we went to many coffee shops. We enjoyed about Canada and Turkey. She's an artist. She me a beautiful oil painting she had painted of the Canadian mountains. On our last day I gave her this Turkish coffee grinder. It's from brass. It will remind her of Turkey.

It's . It reminds me of my visit to two castles in Sendai and Morioka.
