Istanbul (July 3-6 '04)

After returning from Germany I made another quick trip to Connecticut to 454 company for a board meeting and then I was off to Istanbul for two days. I found it beautiful and it was a shame I only had two days before having to fly to Banff to give a keynote at another conference. I had one day before the start of the CPM conference where I toured the main sites photographed below with Max Crochmere, his wife Majo and daughter Louis, and our host Cenk Sahinalp and Ugur Dogrusoz.
