Traveling in Istanbul


Every Wednesday, Gina "hops" on a ferry carrying passengers
only and travels to a friend's house for Bible study. It takes
at least an hour both ways to go by bus, boat and walking, or
longer if the traffic is bad. These boats carry 100s of 1ooos of
passengers each day, and they leave every ten minutes from the
Europe side to the Asia side of Istanbul. Posted by Picasa

I like Istanbul. I know of at least one Cornish person living there currently. It used to be called Constantinople. I prefer the sound of the latter, but I'll take either.

Hello Tummons family! I have been checking out your blog recently. I love the pictures of the kids! They are SO cute. Hard to believe that they still look the same in many ways! I love seeing the pictures of them at school and of your Turkish friends. Blessings to you!

Hello Tummons' I was working the night shift at the hospital and not too much to do and found this website. I am the youngest of Gervis Tummons' kids, Mandy. Bob (Brians dad) being my uncle. These are great pictures and loved seeing what your kids look like. I remember your wedding and knew you were over there. I love the pictures and will keep looking at your pictures from time to time. Good luck to you both and god bless.
