Turkey 2005: Arrival
Well THAT was interesting! Flight to Frankfurt went fine - three seats to myself. BUT the flight from Frankfurt to Istanbul (arrival 2:00 am) was overbooked. I volunteered to be "bumped" to the first Tuesday flight (arrival 13:00) and was paid 400 euros to do so - which means that the next tour (Algeria) is now completely financed!!! Thank you Lord!!
Arrived in Istanbul to find I was on the same flight as the rest of the band!! That made things much easier for those collecting us. Thank you AGAIN Lord!
It is very hot here and, up until an hour ago, we had no water in the apartment (no coincidence that IMMEDIATELY after we prayed for it the water returned!).
All 11 of us seem to get on really well. We have eaten together, prayed together, done formal introductions and had our first "orientation" session. We start practicing at 9:00 am Wednesday.
Prayers please: That the water STAYS on, that Vince (the leader) gets over his bronchitis VERY quickly, that the practices go well and we "mesh" as a band, that the impromptu concert on Friday will be unopposed, well attended and well received.
Thats all for now.
