No, I didn't sense any anti-Americanism, for those of you who have asked. I've done a lot of traveling and I'd rate the Turks up there with the Japanese in the 'Friendliest People' category. I don't know if this has changed after Sept 11th. I was surpised with how modern the country looked. I was expecting it to be a lot less developed. Istanbul had a lot exotic stiff to see and but I liked the countryside better and the sunny coasts of Antalya. And the different colored buildings in the cities and town we passed though were really eye-popping.
