Old Sante Claus has just returned from a 20 day trip to Turkey. I spent 8 days in Antalya which is located on the southern coast of Turkey. I visited the Museum in Antalya to see the relic of Saint Nicholas of Demrie, Turkey. It was a great experience and I took many photos of the town and of the Saint that is the original Santa Claus. It is an interesting story, his life, his works, and his legends. He was a real person according to public records. I will be posting information about him and his life.

The balance of my trip was in Istanbul, a city of intrigue and beauty. A city and country woven like a tapestry with many beautiful colors and sounds, smells, and tastes.
