Lacey and Maren still have school during these next two weeks while Brian and I are off. They only have half-days W-F of this week though, so missing school for our trip won't be too bad.

Brian, Aeden, and I took a Dolmus to Kizilay and then wandered about in a new direction in hopes of finding the tourist information center marked on my Ankara map. It was empty and closed. Darn it. We took in the sites of a new area--Maltepe--which looked pretty much the same as all the other areas, and then headed home. I'm almost ready to throw out my Ankara map, but I still haven't found another one to reference on-the-go (Google maps from home works, but that takes pre-planning and printing!)

Ankara/Turkey does not win any awards in providing tourist information. Canada and Nova Scotia/Prince Edward Island win by far. It will be interesting to see how we do on the road with our rental car to Efes with so little information available...
