Where is Turkey?

We are packing our bags. Meanwhile, a short geography lesson. Where is Turkey?

It was fun to note the World Atlas website lists only 3 points of interest. Really? In all the world, there are only 3 points of interests? So they say. You know one is Turkey, or I wouldn't point it out for you. What are the other two? Hawaii (geographically not part of the Americas, but politically, associated with the United States in North America.) And, European Russia (considered Europe, but serves as a dividing line between Europe and Asia).

So what makes Turkey worthy of distinction? Turkey has the geographic privilege of being the only country that rests within two continents. It is the bridge between Europe in Asia, resting on the Bosphorus Strait. Turkey's position as the good neighbor to the West and the good neighbor to the East, makes them a well-suited mediator of East-West political relations.

World Atlas - What continent is Turkey on?

Tomorrow, I will visit the library for a Turkish language audio book.
