Amanda wanted to ship out here 30 lbs (11 kg) of honey so we took it to the post office, they would not ship it. They said go downtown to the larger post office (at least that is what we thought they said). They said not, cannot take glass. They said go to another private shipping place, they said no glass. They said go to UPS. We have to take a taxi to UPS they said no you need a special food permit. So we carried our burden around Bursa. Amanda had met a women named Tucge on campus and she spoke fairly good english. Well she is a Ney player and invited Amanda to a center (same place we saw the Whirling Dervishes), we went with our box up a hill. It was worth it. We listen to the women practice (men and women separate, there are women days and men days), Amanda got a lesson and proudly got some sound out of the Ney. We went bought a couple of my things (silk scarves). We went to Albert's jewlery store, he was not there, Amanda bought a necklace. Sat down for a final meal in a secluded Hahn. Took bus 48 back to campus for a final time. Packed up and now this morning we are headed to the big city Istanbul.
