Today is a travel day as we leave Hungary and head to Turkey.  We will be staying in Istanbul, with a population of nearly 17 million people. Thursday will be filled with meetings looking at the relatonship of US and Turkey and another look at the effects the economy is having on the Black Sea Region.

Tonight we ate at the Haci Abdullah, the oldest continuous resturant in Istanbu, as it was given the first patent in 1888.
