We finally arrived in Istanbul and Sali met us at the airport and promptly took us to his parents summer villa on the Sea of Marmer.
I slept for 26 hours straight. They had a wonderful dinner for us when we arrived and they woke me the next night to feed me again. The food was great and the hospitality was greater. We left this morning and have been to the WWI battle grounds where the Turks laid many an ally to rest. I'll put in some pictures of today in what will be my last post.
