Hi Everybody!!!

Don't have much time, but I just wanted to let everyone know that I made it to Istanbul. Everything is going great thus far. I am greatly impressed by the caliber of individuals on this trip. I guess it makes sense in some ways. It is 2 AM in Nebraska now, but noon on sunday here. I have five hours to burn in the airport before we arrive in Bishkek at 1 am local time. In case you couldn't tell, I'm quite excited about both propositions. Much love to everyone. Bye.
