Straggler in Turkey

Yes, the overture is over. The themes have been stated. The tone is set.

And at last, I'm on my way.

As a little treat: A snippet of what has to be the most charming e-mail reservation confirmation ever parsed into binary and sent across the globe...

This is already my favorite place in all of Turkey. Can't wait.

Next stop: Amsterdam.
