Though 4 hours late due to trouble with our Air France flight, we arrrive in Turkey, buy our visas, are greeted by Katherine and Issa, and get shuttled to our hotel (Arcadia). We check out the Qur'ans in our closets, and, even though it's rather late, walk with Adib over to Adib's Grand Vizer (geeze this Ibrahim guy is well-connected), where the music is moving and the Nar (fresh-squeezed pomegranite) juice flows. Don't miss the chance to see Glenn shimmy in videos below!
Visas and their prices in Istanbul airport
Qur'an in the Arcadia closet (and the problem with undershirts)
Chow and shimmy at the Grand Vizer (in Sultanahmet neighborhood, Istanbul, next to the Blue Mosque and across from the Hippodrome)
A chance to get me in the frame
and so thus were spent my first hours in Istanbul, Turkey.
