I got to see labor under Communism. A young Arab from Jordan was taken forcibly, weeping from the train." "Suddenly a miracle happened. We had crossed the border Into Turkey. Immediately people started waving at the train, with hordes of kids descending on the tracks as if they had never seen train before. All were wreathed in smiles, something I had not seen in Bulgaria. I waved t (1 bill at boy selling yogurt. He pantomimed he had no change and I showed him two fingers. How good that tasted. Remember I had not eaten in 24 hours. I was given a German mark in change but at the next town a boy sold me a lovely big watermelon for the mark; this was shared with Said and Jean." Arriving in Istanbul 12 hours late, "I parked my big bag with a den of thieves who later charged 14. for 29 cent job." Ellis objected so loudly he got the price down to $2. He breakfasted on honey and the "most delicious bread I've ever tasted." The Topkapi Palace is now a museum. All women enjoy having their pictures taken in front of "The Harem" sign. One of the largest and most magnificent diamonds in the world is on display. The gardens and flowers are "out of this world". St. Sophia's Cathedral, a Christian landmark, later a Moslem mosque, is now a museum. Ellis went into the Istanbul Hilton for martinis. This is not only one of the most magnificent hotels in the world but the setting is fantastic, on hill overlooking the Bosphorus. "I had peeked into the Blue Mosque, but did not venture inside." "I decided to dine that night at the Istanbul restaurant, which turned out to be the choice perfect. Two minutes after I sat down I was invited to join Omar, the proprietor, at his table. Omar spoke no English, but he summoned Iskender, who sells textbooks at his shop, to act as interpreter. I paid for the shish-kebob I ordered but Omar kept the waiters busy bringing me rose liqueur and coffee, not to mention the most heavenly fruit imaginable. I had not tasted a real tree-ripened peach since I visited a college friend in Yucaipa, Calif., whose father had a peach orchard." It was a hilarious meal. About 10 p.m. a very drunk Turk insisted on joining the party. He didn't speak any English either, but fortunately the restaurant closed at 10:30. I was waiting to cross the street when the same Turnk motioned me to join him in a taxi. I did become a little alarmed when the cab seemed to travel a couple miles along the water. We finally stopped and he had the taxi wait. I finally found out the reason for our ride. He wanted me to meet his mother. She produced the most delicious Turkish coffee imagineable. I was simple charmed by the warmth of the welcome, all without one word of English. Then we got into the waiting cab and returned to the corner where we started, and he went his way. Just try to find a tour which promises: You will be a guest of the management of a restaurant and later will be invited into a Turkish home." Ellis took a boat up the Bosphorus. "This surely is one of the most unusual bodies of water in the world. It is a narrow channel made by nature between Europe and Asia. They said that a Russian boat passes through it every six minutes, day and night. Returning to his hotel, the Yasmak, he found Omar had invited him to return to dinner. In marched a huge Turk who played a weird instrument while the head waiter did some native dancing. Ellis finally got up his courage to check his shoes and enter the Blue Mosque, which is very beautiful. Two hippies were refused entrance until they washed their feet. "No womens' Lib here. The ladies sat in the back." Ellis loved Turkey and its people. Then to Athens where he met and roomed with George Elia of Beirut, Lebanon, in a hotel where the owner could understand every third word in English. He and his new friend took a boat trip to Italy, saw the Acropolis and Parthenon; went to the Greek Islands where they met a girl, Joanne of Albany, N.Y., and a German girl, Inga. There was a group of lovely singers aboard who started singing German drinking songs. "What a setting-inky water, the moon and the lights of Piraeus in the distance, the velvety air and the lovely singing. Unforgettable." Going to Rome, Ellis learned they have closed off the Colisseum, as air pollution has done what , several centuries could not do. Then Paris and back to New York City, his beloved city.
