home of almost year, Oran, Algeria (Ellis had been in the
service there). 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.
