July 14th
Went to a local restaurant and had our last lovely breakfast right on the waters of the Bosphorus. Thought mournfully of how long it would be before we'd have such a lovely breakfast again. I can still clearly remember how fresh everything tasted, especially the bread and honey.
Said sad goodbyes to Marsha and Matt, then Christina went with us to the airport, where, in the check-in lineup a security guard harrassed us about our electronic tickets, saying they weren't right. She was really rude and horrible, and I nearly smirked at her when the airline clerk said that of course they were fine. Then the guard changed modes instantly and smiled and said she hoped we'd had a good trip. I almost told her that we had except for her behaviour but decided that discretion was better with people with small but strong areas of authority.
And then it was all over, and it was just a last-minute gift shop visit, long waits in airports, horribly long cramped times in planes with obnoxious children who should not have been travelling alone for an 11-hour flight, then horribly slightly-less-long times in planes, and home again.
