May 29 Last Antalya pictures & back home

We had beautiful weather for the remainder of our trip, and made a couple more forays into the old section of the city of Antalya. I highly recommend a trip to a Hamam (Turkish bath)!

May 20 Antalya

We arrived in Antalya yesterday, and the conference has been very informative, and looks like it will continue to be very interesting for the duration. We went on the tour of the old part of the city today after the close of sessions. The tour was pretty regimented, so we may go back on our own another time. The weather continues to be wonderfully warm and sunny.

May 18, Istanbul, Bosphorus

Here are more photos from yesterday - mostly of the Grand Bazaar plus some from today. Believe it or not, I did cut the number down from the 88 that I took! Today (Sunday) most tourist sites are closed, and we took a 6 hour tour of the Bosphorus, out to the mouth of the Black Sea. We got off the ferry at the last stop and hiked up to a castle. Not sure what the name of it is - it's not in any of our guidebooks, and I'm sure I'd butcher the pronunciation if I tried to say it. Still having gorgeous, sunny, warm weather, and still really enjoying this wonderful city. I put in some animal pictures for the girls!

May 17, Istanbul

It's a beatiful day here in Istanbul. We have seen Haghia Sofya and several shops. What a fun city! Great food, and very nice people.
