ATTATURK AIRPORT BAR
Folder:
THE SHY RETICENT POET
You get great deals
with Turkish Airlines
but it generally
requires a layover in Istanbul.
Of course, time spent
in Istanbul
is hardly a hardship.
It’s nice to get around
that amazing city.
One stretch I had
required 5 flights through Attaturk
in a 5 month span.
It’s a lively airport
with a marketplace
and one good bar.
A pint of Efes Pilsner
helps pass the time.
My head usually starts
spinning when I read
the board displaying
all the arrivals and departures.
I was becoming a regular.
I was joking
with the bartender
on my last visit
after he recognized me.
I don’t have much
going on in my life
but I was deeply honored
to be remembered
by a Turkish bartender
at the Attaturk Airport Bar.
To Travel
Whenever, travel is energizing (tiring, but fun). Jet lag becomes a memory, and only the images remain. :D
It's been 3 and a half years
It's been 3 and a half years since I've been at Attaturk. I do miss it. I'm glad you liked the work. thank you for your kind words and support.

With all that travel, it sounds like a lot is going on in your life.

Thank you for commenting. To be fair with the travel, the writing covers my entire life. So the traveling has been spread out over a lot of years. Sometimes, I'm writing about a trip that may have occured 10 or 20 years ago.
