Friday was an emotional day for us as we continued to say good bye to our friends in Eskisehir. We had dinner Friday night with our former co-workers who you have seen before in pictures but here are some more. Ayse, Melda, Evrim, Merve and Cijan the mover and so to be computer teacher. Fortunately Merve could make use of our beds and refrigerator so we moved them to her place Friday morning with the help of her boyfriend and her roommate’s boyfriend. We spent the night at the hotel that had been so nice to allow us to use their lobby to use their internet. Our final farewell was to the staff of the Irish Pub. Halil, the Irish Pub manager, surprised us when we checked out of the hotel at 7:30 Saturday morning with a tape of Turkish music.
OK, I know those of you in the US are probably tired of hearing us talk about our farewells, but we’re done now, the rest of the blog will be about all the sites we see in Turkey.
We arrived in Istanbul about 2:00 and had a late lunch, good fish and pasta, and the best gelato we’ve had anywhere, even Italy. We were quite surprised. The tour of Turkey starts on Sunday. Not sure how often I’ll have internet but we’ll post pictures when we can.
