Ankara is definately one of the most beautiful and smoothly functioning citys of its size that I know of!
	The Turan families beautiful home on the outskirts  of Ankara
	The Degirmenci family  .. Cenre Emre and parents. Their children Cemre and Emre are twins both studying medicine here in Ankare The father (Riza) is a brother to Ismail that went with us to Kusadasi,  Both he and Ismail work here in Ankara but have a farm together 250 km from here, We visited this farm on another visit to Turkey. It is wheat farming not unlike Saskatchewan
	Elifsu as she finished her degree in Dentistry .  She leaves tomorrow on a holiday with Deniz - first to Finland and then to Belgium

	Birsen, Mireille and I took a taxi into an enormous shoping mall complex,  5 stories high in central Ankara!! Semma then picked us up for Hamam (Turkish bath)
	In 42C temperatures outside, the AC in ´the shoping center feels good
	A lovely visit with a family of friends to Semma and Tanner.  This is a pix from their kitchen window.
	Both Delik and Atila are also doctors and live on the 26th floor of most beautiful housing complex.  Unfortunately I didn't get a pix of the teenage  son Jan.
	A most most wonderful genuine Turkish meal together with these  lovely folks,
	Tanner and Atila looking out over the inner courtyard.
	An interesting housing concept for us.  Four 32 story buildings enclosing an inner court with everything people might wish for. Swiming pool, gyms, training tracks, multiple kinds of picnic and table areas ... stages for different event etx.  All surrounded by a high security enclosure
