Cute - where before there were Turkish words on the Blogger, now it has "Blog Maken"in the upper corner. Dutch is a funny language, the trash can says "DANK U" :-)
I THOUGHT I had a 5+ hour layover here, so I decided to take the train into Amsterdam. While in line at passport check I looked at my ticket and they had changed my itinerary (without mentioning that they did so), so I only have two hours here. Not worth the trip :-( BUT, this trip will be over sooner than I thought.
Nihal and her husband took me to the airport at 2AM last night. I was fine taking a cab but they insisted. I feel REALLY bad because Ramazan starts today and they'll have hardly any sleep before they have to wake up and eat something before daybreak! Nihal bought me a pretty dress as a going-away present. I am going to post some pictures of the kids, etc...then later Izmir and Ephesus.
I haven't explained about those cool Soviet-era things pictured below! They belong to Yosef in Israel and he has an AWESOME collection!!
Thanks to Mert and Husnu for the free all-day boat trip on the Bosphorus to the Black sea!
