Today is for Mary Baba - Happy birthday by mattkrause1969

Mary is my aunt (my mother’s sister). Her birthday actually isn’t until tomorrow, but I won’t be walking tomorrow — I’ll be moving on to Diyarbakır.

Mary, I have a photo of me at the Euphrates river the other day. I’ll drop that in the mail to you.

Today’s walk was 32 kilometers (20 miles) to Siverek. There wasn’t much in the way of gasoline stations or other facilities along the way, but I did run into a couple guys out looking for their horse.
