Day 47, July 23, 2011 (data entry, magic in Bursa)

Spent about 5 hours at the bee lab this morning, entering data again with Dr. Abramson. It was tedious but had to get done. Then I took another trip to Bursa, going to the city center area first. I went to the silk bazaar first walked around. We have made some friends of owners and sales people there. One place in particular very nice, he had his family there at the shop with him and he can speak english well, he is from croatia and fled the wars there I think in the 1980's. They know us all, he asked where Maria was?? I just loved today I wondered wherever my interest took me. I walked a lot. It was a very busy Saturday night, as I think can be seen by the pictures.
