We are off tomorrow to Constantinople ... my father is a bit apprehensive since there are going to be Turkish elections of all days on Sunday ... the day after we get there. We have decided to go straight to the island of Halki - Heybelada in Turkish. The good news is that my cousin Mary will be there for a week ... my dad feels good about that. The way I figure it .. we can enjoy the three of the four islands in relative peace and quiet .. God forbid that something bad happens during the elections .. I think the islands will be just fine .. then we will head to Istanbul and where ever we end up . These are very important elections not only for Turkey, but also for the European Union and the US.
Chat more from God willing Turkey next week.

Evie,
Gather all the genealogy information that you can--it is quite the addictive hobby. I so envy you the ability to talk with all your relatives in the homeland. Take pictures, tape conversations, videotape gatherings! I look forward to reading your next posts! See you before school starts.
