Hello friends,
I like the pictures and the atmosphere you coment very much. I would also like to tell you what happened in Istanbul.
Tonight Nicki and I went from Ankara to Istanbul.
We arrived at around 7 in the morning. We met a boy who is in an engineer in the Turkish army (Air Force) his name is Burak. He is from Izmir but spent some days in Ankara and Istanbul. He helped us find our luggage and get the bus back to Kadikoy, where he also had to go.
He wanted to invite us to breakfast but since we had travelled all night and were very sleepy, we left. But we left the calling card with my number and email.
In the afternoon we went to the airport to receive Juli and Tamas. We arrived at home very quickly, bought things for the house. They were happy to obe here and they like the neighborhood very much. While I received an email from Burak who wanted to see and also was in Kadikoy and asking if we could go have coffee. I told him yes, but to call us so we could arrange something. After that we went to Pehivan witth the
Hungarian friends. There Burak calls me. We met him and a friend of his in Boga place and went to a cafeteria to have Turkish coffee and sweets. While we were walking Burak comented he had seen Silo's
Message page and that it was very interesting, the Book, the Experience, the Path.. I was surprised that he had done so much research in one morning, not only him but also his friend.

In the cafeteria we were playing with the Principle cards, they comented that the principles were difficult and that they must be reflected upon. We ask them to think about what they need the most, their deepest wish before choosing a card. Burak takes it very seriously and thinks deeply on his need. After he told us he feels
that his whole life must be destructured and start again. It seems it is a difficult moment in his life and he is thinking a lot about changing. We invited him to the ceremony Saturday and he says he would like to come very much but maybe tomorrow he must go back to Izmir. In any case, we agreed that when we go to Izmir for the Book presentation we will see each other. When we finished the coffee, Burak started playing with the coffee ground as if he wanted to guess something. In the table next to ours were 3 women who saw what he was doing and started laughing and talking with Burak if he really knows how to see the future. Readily Burak and his friend started saying who we were and playing with the women with the Principle cards. We laughed a lot, they were very amaible. And since they boys explained about the meeting and they asked, we also invited them Saturday. Every thing was very smooth and fun. We said good-bye to everyone after the coffee and went home. Before we called Jonturk who would come visit. We had an interesting conversation with him about many things. He talked a lot about the alevi, the history of all Turkish peoples. We invvited him again to come with us to Ankara to meet our friends there, that it would be good, that they are good people and he could talk to them about all of these themes of the alevi, since they aer alevi. For the first time he said he would like to. He said that if the temperature was over 5° he would come. That would be fantastic, because I think it would help him to feel an ambit with the Turks in Ankara. We'll see.
The friends who arrived today, Juli and Tomi comented that so many things happened in so little time, it seemed like they had been here for various days.
And I also feel like the days here, especially the last 3-4 days contain more than the normal days. Very interesting.
I am sending some pictures.
