Greetings from Greece,

We got up at 0130 this morning to catch 5:30 flights to the US and 6:30 flights to Turkey.

The Turkeys landed in Istanbul and were bussed to the Hippodrome, where we visited the Blue Mosque, the Hagia Sophia (Greek for Holy Wisdom) and then off to the Grand Baazar.

When we left Istanbul, we had a very long bus ride to Greece, with another complicated border crossing and finally to our beautiful hotel and dinner.

We've been up just over 21 hours, so we're a bit tired and welcoming a good nights rest.

Sorry for no pictures, I've tried several times and the internet is slow and keeps kicking me out, so I give up. I promise we have lots of great pictures of Turkey and will bore you with them all when we return in something less than a week.

It's been another great day; keep on prayin.

Gnight

Doug

  1. We shall keep on praying indeed!
    The Portland contingent arrived home safely and of course exhausted. We look forward to hearing about the trip when they wake up.... Maybe Monday... ;-)
    Have a wonderful time in Greece!
