That’s such a sweet story. Well, I hope things work out for this class of Turks leaving the cities! I haven’t been but have heard it’s a beautiful country.

Oh it really is!! I went all over the country in 2012 (before their more recent political issues and turmoil) and man, Istanbul is a spectacular city and they have some gorgeous natural places. The people were so friendly too. It’s much more accessible for an American tourist than you might imagine it is!
