Wrapping Up and Winding Down

Mom & Dad in Kapadokia

We are wrapping up the final few days with my folks. We have been together for almost 5 weeks...it still seems far too short. Dad has settled into a routine of getting out and about, and as always, no matter where he goes he ends up knowing most of the comings and goings of those around. Even though he can't speak a lick of Turkish he has some amazingly animated conversations with the locals. One of our neighbors just stopped by to take him for a walk and spend an afternoon with him.
With just a few days left we are looking back over this year's first foray to the east. In spite of the downside of traveling with an expert on driving habits, it was a blast and I am not looking forward to the wrap up of this trip.
