group. Praises to the organizers and to our Turkish guide as well
as to the breathtaking Turkish countryside. A good part of the
experience was the Bosphoros with its insane shipping four deep
as you look across to Asia. Plus there is a river running through it,
beneath, at surprising speeds.
So the Bosphoros, the Sea of Marmara -- that inland sea which
connects with the Aegean -- and the fabulous Turkish countryside
throughout Izmir. It was too early for everything to have ripened
but we saw lush fields planted with fruit trees and olive trees
marching to the tops of steep hills and mountains. This central
valley seems to go on and on and there are scarved women in the fields, weeding and planting, stooping low. The men are either on
tractors or in the shady taverna...
