Istanbul, Turkiye 14 January 2023

 Hello All; This will be my last posting from  here this trip , as I return to Canada tomorrow afternoon. I have had some problems with my Chromebook computer, so this will be short, and a complete report will issue after I get settled back in Ottawa.

My friend from Poland was here for a few days, and we did a lot of exploring, as one of the ladies here has a car, and a drive to show the area. We have seen Taksim square, a famous shopping area that had some security problems a few months ago. One sunny day, we went to the only real forest in Turkiye, Belgrad, and walked trails there and had lunch. Several hundred years ago, thousands of folks from Belgrade, then in Yugoslavia were deported here. A small village shares the same name. I will report more upon my return.

Stay safe, and enjoy this New Year.
