Today we leave Alla's wonderful "couch" which was really a bedroom and bath to ourselves. She decorates her cute apartment so well, we just had to show some pictures. We want to thank her for being such a wonderful host!

Turkey has been such an amazing place to visit - the people are friendly and kind and we have had such wonderful hospitality with all of our hosts. Most have wanted to cook for us and we've had some wonderful meals. They have a tradition to take off your shoes when you enter and they offer you some slippers or special shoes to put on while you are in their house. Here is an example of some shoes I wore.

She took us to the Mini City, which was a great way to visit all of Turkey in just two hours. Some of these sites we've visited and others we'll just have to dream about seeing one day. Enjoy the great pictures Rich took. We only have a sampling of what we saw. It was truly spectacular! I've only labeled a few as it would take some time to put together all of them and get them correct.
