Welcome to Turkey 2005 Blog

It's now just over 8 days until I leave for Turkey. This evening I had dinner at the home of my neighbors, Connie and Dave. They visited Turkey in 2001 and shared with me their photo album, books about Turkey in general and Cappadocia in particular, and a map of Troy, with titles in German. This afternoon I got about halfway through Crescent & Star: Turkey Between Two Worlds by Stephen Kinzer.
