In Akre
On our way back to Erbil, we took detour to the lovely Kurdish city of Akre. With its narrow, winding streets and homes built into the hillside, it is remisicent of old European villages. The waterfall draws folks from all around; there's a little restaurant where men drink sweet tea while a little girl sells home-made date candies.
