10:46 PM; car
Yes, I know, I switched pens. I lost the other one , somehow, in the last five minutes.
Anyway, the museum we went to was really cool. It had to do with various technological developments - from the printing press and typewriter to the progression of planes, trains, and cars.
(pause for Friday planning)
We saw a video about the NASA trips to Saturn and its moons. we were the only ones there for the film, which was in Turkish without English subtitles, so Begüm had to translate for me. The rest of the museum had English sides to the info cards, so it all worked out fine after the film.
We left the museum around 1:00 or 1:30, and went to the Miniatürk museum. We had lunch at the cafe there, and then we walked around to see the displays, which were really cool. They were all laid out outside, and they're all plastic scale models of the major sites in Turkey with audio descriptions available. There are places like Maiden's Tower in the Bosphorus, but also like Cappadochia and Ephesus and stuff. It was really cool. Paths connected each of the 'sites,' which are on plots of grass and blocked off with rope, like in normal museums (except for the water-based ones, like the Maiden's Tower; they have a pseudo-Bosphorous - an actual body of water - where the Maiden's Tower was place).
My apologies for my atrocious handwriting. ....this, will write when we get back.
