I think I remember that your wife was a travel agent in California. Did she arrange for the house to house treats experience?
Were you aware of the Muslim religious views on homosexuality? I believe that speaking from a point of ignorance is not the case here for some of us.
Not sure when you were there last. Just to remind you of some not so tourist friendly events in Turkey recently.
