Lunch in Istanbul

Barbara and I are in Istanbul for a few days with our Falmouth friends Judy & Mike.

We had lunch in the old city today with Guven Onal and his wife Nese (top). Guven is our consultant for Processing of Industrial Minerals '10, to be held in the old city in February. We are staying at the President Hotel, the conference venue, only 5 minutes walk from famous landmarks such as Aya Sofia (left) and the Blue Mosque (right).

Jon emailed today from Adelaide. The Mill Operators conference is going well but he is having problems accessing the blog, so hopefully will report on the event this weekend.
