Dr. Tunc, physicist and new friend and Fatih University.
Another great day Following the Comet in Istanbul. We met with some great faculty at Fatih University today and learned a lot about higher ed in Turkey. There was, of course, a great lunch involved with kabobs, rice, vegetables, lentil soup (yum) and lots of bread. Our adventure to the Jewish museums was derailed since it was a holiday we did not know about, but undeterred I found free hours to do my favorite thing and walk the streets and sample foods and watch people and be watched by people. Istanbul really is the crossroads of the middle east. The people are extremely friendly and the food is fantastic. Tonight we took a flight to the coastal city of Izmir and tomorrow we will explore this town, visit Ephesus (birth place of Mary) and have dinner with local families. Food is a constant theme and that is fine by me. |
