May the 25th of December, the Day of the Western Christmas, find one and all well.... To celebrate, I have been drinking tea with a bunch of people that want to convert me to Islam in mountain villagess, before riding with a bus with a man with a very long, Islamic beard who liked to talk about the Prophet and other various religiously themed subject ---- his preference for saying something every third word, however, meant that I understood nothing, other than that it was some sort of reference to Islam....
Am now in Hasankeyf in Batman Province (regrettably no Gotham is closeby, much to my regret), site of a very cool cave city --- sort of a cross between Cappadocia and Petra in Jordan --- unfortunately due to be submerged beneath the waters of a huge lake created when the GAP Project (a large hydroelectric works) comes online in a few years --- much to the very palpable anger of the local population.
Anyway, will Inshallah be going to either Midyat or Mardin after my sojourn in the Bat caves of Batman.
