Saying Goodbye to Lauren and George
Posted by admin | Posted on 01-07-2010 | 0 CommentsWe’ve had two nights in Istanbul, Turkey and we are all now leaving Istanbul and going on to Safranbolu, Turkey with the departure of two people from our group, Lauren and George who are heading back home.
George was riding a BMW F650 GS and joined the group in Rouen, France. Originally he was supposed to ride the entire trip but due to other obligations he was able to ride from Rouen, France to Istanbul, Turkey. We were all very sad to see George leave but will keep in touch through the blog as well as emails exchanged.
We also had sad goodbyes for Lauren who rode many days with her husband Patrick and was also always looking after those who were left behind. She had to return home for business reasons even though Carmen and Jacquie will miss the “girl bonding” yet Patrick will probably notice her absence even more.
Thank you both for your friendship, navigation skills, the picture taking, the storytelling and the laughs at the end of the day. Thank you George for your round of drinks toasting you both in Safranbolu
