Re: John Derbyshire's Oprahfication, Ethnomasochism, And The Preventable Death of Aylan Kurdi From: Linda Thom [email her]

My husband and I have been to Turkey numerous times, most recently in 2010. As we don't care for the beach scene, we have only visited Izmir and Ephesus in the west.

Trip Advisor has some photos of the place from which the desperate Kurdish family escaped. See the screenshot at the right.

Linda Thom is a retiree and refugee from California, now living in Washington State.
