UP Buddies Visit Turkey

My buddy Jeff has deployed here and David stopped by in his C-130. First we went out to dinner at a traditional restaurant.

At the end of the night, all those guys tried some Raki (tastes kind of like strong southern comfort and doesn't turn white until you pour water into it.)

The next day John, Mike, and I took them offroading. John and Mike in the Toyota popped over the hill to find a family having a picnic.
