A man with a moustache washed me thoroughly in the Hamam. Then he rubbed my skin with a brush and he massaged my naked body as if he was going to prepare me for interrogation by the secret service.
This evening we had dinner in an empty and not very attractive looking fish restaurant.
But the fish was delicious.

This morning I threw up a couple of times, but I decided to continue traveling and around four p.m. we arrived in Antakya.
Tomorrow I will visit a Hamam in Antakya and on Thursday we will cross the Syrian border.

My interpreter and I are having a difficult time with each other.
Tonight she started yelling at me, because I took a picture of her.
She said: “People have warned me against you.”

Many years ago a friend introduced me to a young man. Later this young man whispered in my ear: “You come with many warnings.”

Today we traveled from Ankara to Konya.
The elections in Iraq seemed to be far away.
Yesterday we went to the The Rahmi M. Koc Museum in Ankara.
I was touched by this bear and by the description card.
