 Monday, August 1, 2022 It's a simple plan for today with something for each of us.  We catch a cab to the Wyndham, play a little, and ask for breakfast.  The buffet doesn't open until eleven and we're a little early for that.  The lady asks if we want omelets.  I'm good with that since I have no idea what else might be available.  Turns out we're actually ordering a Turkish breakfast, but you can get it without the eggs!  That's a happy surprise since the guys next to us have that and I was filling a little cheated!!  At any rate, I do a creditable job on mine and at 11:45 start campaigning for a shut down so we can be on time upstairs.  No worries, we're five minutes early.  I have Ammar's lady from yesterday because he wanted me to experience her technique and she really is amazing!  She spent twenty years as a physiotherapist in Ukraine before coming here.  I get finished after Ammar and he has already gone back downstairs.  Our deal was that he got
