It is hoped; in the main, to be entertaining, so the question, "What's the point?" comes up unfounded and meaningless. I agree it's crucial for all of us to keep informed in current, events, , both local and world-wide, but there's more than that. Blinkers benefit no one. The say has been had. In this little journey so far we've come from Munich, Germany, through Austria, Yugoslavia, Bulgaria and now we've •arrived in Turkey. We're two Canucks drivin• g Mercedes Benz's across Europe, into the Middle East, an perhaOs as far,as Iran. Whether the journey takes us that far has yet to be decided. On this day we have just arrived in Istanbul, another world. We'd arrived in this incredible city in the morning, so we had the entire day in front of us. I harken back to the Grade 11 history texts and realize I'm in the cradle of civilization. Great epics like Helen of Troy come to mind, though the ruins are situated soup of Istanbul, further down the coast. A faulty economy and internal struggles have left their New Column Herl'i Shoveller mark, however, and whafoncel was a glorious part of man has been left behind in many ways.

In spite ef the fact- that the tourist is the prey of the sidewalk entrepreneur, it's still a faacinating place to be. The highlights of this city are most certainly the Blue Mosque and the St. Sepia Mesque, as well asthe Grand sufficiently abusing what is perhaps the most important and powerful position in the world, It didn't inspire an onslaught of national pride.
