Family and I did see a lot of Turkey - 7 churchs area, Black Sea, spice bazaar in Istanbul, etc. Navy Ball was a lot of hard work but It turned out great! Had visiting Naval Officers from all over Turkey and London - combined U.S. - Turk color guard in home-made period uniforms of 18th century, etc. I suppose highlight of tour was Clearing Turkish Customs and climbing aboard the 747 bound for Rome!
