And the Okay, I've gotten through the jet lag. It's been over a week now since we've come back from...

Since I've come back from Turkey and I am getting back on board.

And I got to say, Turkey is a fabulous country to visit.

And this was the first time we did the Grand Turkey Tour with a great group of people.

There were some highs and lows.

We had a new tour guide who didn't understand our reluctance to do a great deal of walking in 100 degree heat.

And so, but everybody was great.

Met some new people, met some old friends.

And those of you listening, you guys rocked, you really did, you were fantastic and I believe to a person everyone enjoyed the

tour I want to mention also that Turkey surprisingly is very very produce oriented. They grow

fruits and vegetables and seeds and nuts and they even grow wine grapes and this was a very big shock to me they we did a

wine tasting at one of the monasteries we we visited and

surprisingly the wine was superb.

I even brought a bottle of white to bring back with me.

When it's hot, when it's over 100 degrees, a cool wine was good so they had a shardine and they had a

couple souther yon blanks that we that I tried and they were excellent.

So they are, they're producing some varietals,

some grapes that are outstanding.

And this was a surprise to me. The other thing is it's very it's a very

highly educated country and their their exports are over a trillion dollars.

And this is, I mean, it leads to great satisfaction.

People had smiles on their face.
