Richardsdrr - 2013-04-15 2:24 AM One other thing, I dropped my parents off at the airport so they can fly back home to Turkey. On one of the advertisement billboards outside an airline was offering deals to the states. One of them was to Boston for 259 pound return. Must be an omen for Salty. So I'm expecting a 2 hr 59 min marathon

Your parents live in Turkey?

Didn't Froggy go there on hols last year?

Have been there 6 times in the lst 4 years, usually  for 2-3 weeks at a time. Have grown quite fond of the place (or parts of it), although off to Marseille/ Monaco/ Italy for a mini road trip in 10 days time!!!!

When I was 22, I fell in "love" with a Turkish Lady that I almost jumped ship (went AWOL) for.  This was in Antalya.  I love that place.  

Over the years, we lost contact.  Then, about 3 or 4 years ago, she found me on Facebook!  We had a few conversations using "Google Translate" and her broken English.  The short of it is - she told me she "was having love for me too" back then.    

How different life could have been... Good thing I came to my senses.  I was a smart mouth kid, with very little tact.  I'm sure it wouldn't have been long until I offended the wrong person and ended up in a Turkish Prison!  

If I ever have the expendable income for that trip - I will be travelling to Antalya again in the future.  Would be really weird to see that place / girl after all these years.

I've never been! Can you imagine? And here I am "I lost my duck."

Really hoping for Istanbul 2020! Unlikely though. Rats.

Why, what's happening in 2020?

Good little jog Salty.... Cracking open a special little 'Leffe' beer that I have been keeping cool,( in  your honour). Hope you're as happy as we are for you.

The country does have aspirations (and a dubious human rights record) and some lovely people, and some fantastic scenery and some lovely people and the people are very nice- just ask our Muskrat

Oh, this Leffe is good!

Just got a text from hubby telling me that as well.  Scary, hope everyone is OK.

Yikes! The footage does not look good

Lots of well wishes and prayers for everyone there ...

Oh geez, so far they are reporting spectator injuries and some injured policemen.  Taking wounded folks to med tent set up for racers.

I'm trying to get a boston feed but it mine is constantly buffering

And prayers to the ones that weren't so far away.

Yes, most definitely.  It gives me a sick feeling of fear and sadness in my stomach to think about those people.  Many prayers being sent.

Thank God! I am so relieved. And so sorry. Please take care of yourself.

I'm so glad that you are OK. 

Prayers for the victims.

Oh thank God.  Thanks for posting, we were very worried. 

Oh My God, thanks for posting. I am sick.

Exhales.  Holy sheet.  I am so effing angry right now.  Be safe, and prayers for all involved.
