PCS (’s): I will try to find an “economical” rug for the deck foyer. That was a good idea on your part. Best shopping should be in Izmir. Have you let GDW guide you to the blog yet? I am sure he would be happy to do so. Also, have your folks gotten any e-mails this trip? I am glad you are so busy- that way you will have no reason to feel guilty when we play hookey upon my return. Probably now due NWK on July 18th. We are not to ALEX dock yet! L ACiao & RWC Skee
