Drove from Istanbul to Bursa (4 hour drive) to visit with Nihal a very good friend of Hasmet's. Nihal is an artist and was very kind to surprise me with a beautiful portrait of me in my younger days. We stayed in Nihal's beautiful home and enjoyed the most wonderful turkish hospitality (Nihal is a great cook and we ate delicious food) Nihal proudly showed us around Bursa, a very important city for Silk Manufacturing (it was on the silk route). Bursa is a very pretty city and shopping for silk scarves is an amazing experience as there are so many beautiful shops, making it very difficult to choose from.
