5 uccessor to the once great Ottoman Empire, Turkey is i nation of striking contrasts ranging from the multi-racial metropolis of Istanbul to the dreary ranges of Anatolia. Because of their national consciousness the people of Turkey are outstanding for their sense of honor, honesty and decency, and loyalty. Divided into two natural areas by the historic waterway formed by the Dardanelles, the Sea of Marmara and the Bos- porus, Turkey is one of few countries that can be associated with two continents instead of the usual one. Turkey in Eur- ope is equal in area to the size of Massachusetts and in Asia about the size of Texas. Turkey enjoys a virtual world monopoly on the mineral Meerschaum, a white or creamy colored stone. Used chief- ly for tobacco pipes, most of which are hand-carved and high- ly artistic, the Meerschaum pipes made our souvenir shop- ping that much easier. We couldn ' t help but feel a little relaxed in Istanbul be- cause we knew this was the last leg of our Med cruise.

t . t Ws Entering the harbor of Istanbul one of our first sights was the many mosques, Moslem houses of prayer, silhouetted high above the city ' s skyline. This Moslem architecture built the finest of the mosques of Istanbul and of the world- -St. Sophia. On street corners we noticed shoe shine boys dressed in drab and colorless clothes with their fancy, glamourized shoe shine boxes. A city inside a city— the Grand Bazaar. Here under one roof were over 3, 000 shops of every description offering its numberless cus- tomers anything under the sun. Down jewel- ry shop avenue and up shoe store street we walked and wondered stopped and stared bargained and bought.
