I’ve made considerable headway with the photo scanning project I began in December . Having started with 1982, I’m already through 1994; 1995 and 1996 are organized and waiting in the wings to be scanned next. Photos after 2001 are already digital, so there’s definitely light at the end of the tunnel.
Looking through the photos we took on a 1995 trip to Turkey, I came across one that just begged to be posted here. It was taken in May of that year when we visited Bursa, where the Ottoman Empire was founded back in the 1300s. Today, the city that the Ottomans referred to as Hüdavendigar — God’s Gift — is a bustling metropolis best known for Uludağ (Great Mountain), a popular snow skiing destination.
But I digress. The reason this photo deserves a place in this blog is in the sister-city post we came across by happenstance. It’s not a great photo, but if you know the name of the maker of our Phaeton, you’ll understand why I just had to post it.
Of course, the Tiffin referred to in the post is the Ohio city by that name; it has nothing to do with our motorhome. Still, what are the chances that 27 years ago we would be pointed towards Tiffin. Call it fate; call it “kısmet” — I think it was meant to be that we would someday end up in a Tiffin-made ‘condo on wheels.’
