This evening we finally!!!!  made it to Turkey.  Details to follow, but it was a bit of a fiasco at the Frankfurt airport yesterday.  We didn’t make it into central Turkey.  But, today we made it to Istanbul.  Yippee.  We’re at the hotel, and will be heading to central Turkey later in our trip.  Tonight we walked down the street for a cheap dinner and had some amazing lentil soup with bread, chicken kabab, meatballs, and rice.  A feast of flavor.  Oh, and the guy threw in some breaded anchovies.  Zoe and I thought they were tasty.
