Travun
{ I walked with 'Mustafa and Bekci as guides round Suleymanl, Sosun, Travun, iraz, Glveren, - 4.5. hrs. 16 miles. See Diary 1949. }

Village at bottom of a large hump, between it and another rocky fault in the plain.
Similar houses of stone. I accosted a man, Bilal, who took me to the Muhtar's house.
Muhtar suspicious (Abdullah).

100 houses 800 people
Hoca (Sefret) sitting under a tree (old man) in the middle of the village; Bilal fed me eggs,
yogurt, bread (rye and barley - rye superior). His wife (i ?) brought me a plate of eggs, sat with us;
he ate, she did not, nor speak.
