My Dad & Green Bananas

Our View on the Road to Sirnak

We returned home a few hours ago broke, tired and buggy after a few days down south -- to find that some recent haunts of ours had been the target of terror attacks. Over the past 5 days terrorists have struck in Sirnak (we did a "walk thru" of a dilapidated hotel there 3 weeks ago) and in Izmir which we passed through last week and again today. Thirteen or more are dead and many more are wounded. Seems grenades, strafing, and scooter bombs were the weapons of the day.
We will bring you up to speed soon on our work trip to the island...for today we will leave you with these famous words from my dad, "Don't buy green bananas...you may not be around to eat them". From a somber Istanbul, that's all I got.
