Ayvalik
View from my little hotel, an old Ottoman house with maze-like rooms and spiral staircases. This town was a mix of Greeks and Turks until the “exchange” of populations in the 1920s. Church is now a mosque, where I heard “Barak Obama” in the Friday night address. Don’t know what was said, though.
Greek Islands in background.
Laundry in foreground.
Very lovely.

The top picture could almost be Italy. In fact, it could be Italy. Looking forward to seeing you!
It was so good to be with you and your friends. What a fun dinner party!
