This week in Turkey

Tonight we just arrived in Bursa. They've given us time to shop at the Bazaar. Generally I haven't bought anything because I'll be back another two times. But today I bought a cheap bath mat. The one in the center is just a towel and it slips everywhere, so the one I bought today has a non-slip back. It's nothing spectacular but hopefully it will last the year. It cost 5 Turkish Lira which is about $2.30.
I don't have anything to teach tomorrow so I'm going to enjoy a relaxing evening—although we won't get dinner until about 8 so there won't be much time.

Turkey is a BEAUTIFUL country. In my mind, it is the epitome of what a modern Muslim country can be. I've had a wonderful time here!

  1. Gaye, I've just been catching up on your adventures. Thanks so much for sharing! And…since you are teaching an online seminary class, how can I be a student? I'm online, after all. :) We miss you, but are so happy for your great adventure!
