Hascakal Turkeye!

It's 6 am in the morning and I'm packed and waiting for our 7 am ride to the airport. We fly from Ankara to Istanbul and then direct to New York. It's been an amazing two weeks here in Turkey......Istanbul, Cappadocia, the Aegean Coast etc...this land has such beauty...Ephesus, Pergamum, Catalhoyuk, Konya, etc....this country is so rich in history and culture.....A big THANK YOU to Hulya and Guler and the entire Turkish Foundation for putting this trip together and making this journey a reality, a thank you to Serhan and CREDO tours for guiding us through this amazing land, and thank you to all the Turkish people we have met along the way (the Imam we met, the Turkish tea house ladies, the Iznik tile artist, the Cappadocia pottery makers and carpet weavers, the lovely cave house couple, and all the Turkish people we have met etc)...they have all been so hospitable and have gone out of their way to make us feel welcomed and comfortable in their beautiful land.

I leave Turkey with a sad heart, but hopeful that someday I will return. So it's not goodbye Turkey, but it's "until we meet again."
