trip - April, 2007
June 6, 2007
In April 2007, we were invited by Jim Kurtz to
join him and five other people from the United States on an 11-day trip to
Turkey. Everything about the trip was wonderful, and we thank Jim for all
his planning and attention to detail that made the trip such a success. The
many flights were arranged well, we were met by very competent
guides/interpreters who helped us through every phase of the trip, the
accommodations and food were very good, and the itinerary provided us with
many interesting experiences. We did things and went places beyond the
regular tourist venues--dinner in people's homes followed by sharing of US
and Turkish culture, visits to out-of-the-way restaurants and ancient sites,
and many opportunities to learn about the history, religion, and education
of Turkey. Turkey is a beautiful country, the people are friendly and open,
and we felt safe and welcome wherever we went. The trip was an experience to
treasure and to share through our photos, souvenirs, and memories. Our
thanks to Jim Kurtz and to all the Turkish people in the United States and
Turkey who made our trip so memorable!
