Today was our last full day of meetings in Istanbul. We met with an arts an culture NGO called Anadolu Kultur, had lunch and some free time around Taksim Square (one of the most famous places in Istanbul), then met with a foundation called the Turkey European Foundation which works to better the cause of Turkey's accession to the EU. Then we came to our hotel area, did our final souvenir/gift shopping. I now have 15 minutes to finish typing this, pack my bags and get ready for dinner. We're having dinner right near our hotel with a politician from the opposition party (we had dinner last night with a politician from the ruling party, AKP). Then we're all going out for our last night in Istanbul then leaving for the hotel at 5:30am. (please note that I did not include time for sleeping).
Hope all is well with everyone and I promise to write up a really summary and some thoughts about this trip once I'm back in the US and have had some sleep.
