Day 48, July 24, 2011 (Day in Bursa again)

The students and Dr. Wells went to the beach today, I stayed behind though. Dr. Abramson and I cleaned up and packed up the bee lab. We took a bus into Bursa and went to a very nice park which I wanted to go to for awhile. We pass it on the bus when we go into the city.
We got off a bit early, the Ataturk sports stadium is next door. We had a very tasty lunch of salad, cheeses, a sort of rolled up pastry and a artichoke with potatoes and greens. We walked up and I showed Dr. Abramson the synagogue and we went to look at the large underground mall. You seen on mall you seen them all. Of course this one was air conditioned and we needed that today.
A short break from the heat. When I got home I started packing, what the heck I am I going to do with all my stuff. I still want to buy some things in Istanbul. Maybe I will leave some clothes behind.

The Mall foodcourt (no chinese food though)

Looking up at the park where the Osmans are buried. We were up there a few times before
