[Idyllchat] Turkey

[GRAYGOOSE at aol.com]

We spent 16 days in Turkey several years ago on an Elderhostel Program. It  
was a terrific experience although we spent the entire time in the western  
area where there are so many archeological sites. Would like to get to the  e
astern region one day.
 
One caveat. Beware of the "turkey trots." Almost everyone on our program  
came down with it despite our extreme care in what and where we ate. Take more  
Imodium tablets with you than you ever think you may need...just in case. You  
might ask your doctor about medications before leaving. Also, be aware that 
few  Turkish toilets are like ours. Most are holes in the floor and it would 
behoove  you to carry toilet tissue with you. It seemed to be unknown in Turkish 
toilets.  Just a pail of water and a dipper in many. Still can't figure out 
exactly to use  that system correctly!
 
Other than that, enjoy the country. It is fabulous.
