Viewing Post for: Turkey: Mt. Ararat

Date: September 8, Sunday
Location: Sea Level, Istanbul, Turkey

JFK airport almost kept us. At each turn, no sign, the train did not work, where is Turkish Airlines? But we managed.

Great morning arriving at 5:30 am in Turkey. Needed sleep badly but had to wait until the rooms were ready at noon. So we went exploring the old city.. Turkish delicate. Lots of huge ancient mosques. Ancient walled city forms the back wall of the hotel. A huge mix of people from all over. Lots of Muslems in head scarfs, Arabs in Merecedes, Europeans with many languages. Kebabs, Pride, (Turkish pizza), giant lamb kebabs and people drinking tea in small glasses among the rug shops, belly dancing clothing shops...it feels like Turkey.

Hi, Dave - Saw the post that you're on the ground in Turkey. Good show! Have a great time. (Return trip tip: You might want to lay over in NYC through Tuesday the 24th; it's Mariano Rivera Bobblehead Night at Yankee Stadium that evening.)
