I was also able to find fresh juice in Turkey. This time at a stand on Mt. Koressos at the House of the Virgin Mary Site. 1 Euro bought me a large glass of fresh orange/ pomegranate juice that was made using an old fashioned metal orange press - delicious. Smiling I Snoopy danced all the way to the stand :)
Before finding the juice stand I wrote down my wishes and placed them in the prayer wall. I drank from the three fountains that are said to have healing properties - I know what you are thinking but, sometimes you just need to go with it - it is mountain spring water - cold, clean, clear and it was honestly the best water I've ever tried. Turkey was a magical place I can't wait to go back someday.
Inspired by the pomegranate juice in Turkey - I bought a metal press when I got home. I think using one of these is the best way to quickly juice pomegranates/oranges/lemons/limes... much less fuss when you want a quick juice than starting up and cleaning an electric juicer.
I'm going to Europe in 2 days. I've been searching around the net for tips on staying Vegan/Raw while I'm away. I found a really good list of ideas on "The Best of Raw" website. Where the video of David Wolfe (above) is featured. After reading their Top 5 Travel Tips I've decided to pack my superfoods to take with me. A bag of hemp hearts, Bluegreen Algae, MSM powder, some raw cacao nibs, a water bottle for mixing and a few Larabars.
I'll post how I did when I get back! I think while I'm in Egypt I'll have to make an exception and eat more cooked food - I've been warned repeatedly about not eating salads or anything uncooked there!
