Istanbul, Turkey: Day 12
Sat at chaotic Turkish border for hours. They have architecture and engineering for a border in place but there is no human system. High winds from the sea swept the sunflower fields and roads. Istanbul welcomed for miles. Sara took the wheel. We met Linden and her friends for beers and a cab ride and stayed with Gorkem, an adventurer.
From the road:

Turkish border. UGH.
7/27 at 6:19 – Turkish border … on the way to Istanbul
Meanwhile, spoke with another team in no-man’s land whose car died. They’ve seen 4 other cars today so we hope to find folks at the meeting point tonight if we ever cross the border. They’ve decided to push on by bus or train, hope to see them in UB! Ok, we’re stamped now so we’re off to Istanbul!
