Subject: Post: After searching an hour for a post office for stamps and sending our post cards we took a taxi towards the Turkish border. For 100 USD the taxi wasnt too cheap once again, but it got us to the border in about two hours. Passing through the suburbs of Mosul didnt cause any problems this time either.On the border we jumped into a Turkish taxi, which would take us over the border for 20 Turkish Liras each. Now we have been spending maybe two hours in that taxi so far, and are closing in to the Turkish passport control. Turkish customs x-rayed all the luggage in the car, and we got a special interrogation. Especially they seemed to be interested in Don, as an American citizen.. They were just asking about our jobs, what we were doing in Iraq etc. The "tourism" answer gave us the familiar "you are lunatics" faces again.. :)Probably we will be sitting on this border for an another hour or so. Then a bus towards Nusaybin and crossing border to Syria, we are kinda hoping to get there today. Latitude: Longitude: Security Code:
