Glad y'all enjoyed his talk - I think classical archaeologists tend to be pretty good at giving people some context, but then, I'm biased. ;) Also, after a lot of coaching from Katie, I now have it memorized that Atatürk died on November 10, 1938, at 9:05 AM. Why I have this memorized, I don't know. I miss you two! I was really not expecting to see mention of Kenneth Sams on there!

The blogs and the pictures have been wonderful! From these, their enthusiasm definitely shines through. They seem to have embraced all the possibilities of their time in Turkey. And through them, of course, I have learned an incredible amount of history and geography! I can't wait to hear and see more details when Kevin gets home!

We're a family of four from San Francisco who will be in the city for only one day on June 29. Any help or recommendations would be greatly* appreciated. Thank you, Sumi Hi Sarah,
