Sanliurfa is a very beautiful city with a great central park with many historic sites. There is a festival in town so there are many people around with music and other stuff. We took a day trip to Harran which is mentioned in the book of Genesis (i.e., very old city) but it was pretty disappointing as was the cave where the profit Job spent some time.
Grabbed a beer at a bar today and a local came by to check out a game Nate and I was playing (Pass the Pigs). He ended up buying us a beer, playing some backgammon with us, and invited us over to a large table at the bar where several family members were having lunch (roasted eggplant stuffed with ground lamb, roasted peppers, onions, tomatoes, flatbread - very tasty!). typical hospitality.
Anyway it was all good to see and we're off tonight to Istanbul for one more day until my flight home - mussels here we come!
