I have joined several travel groups, one RV Travel group and a hiking group and I have seen nothing at all that is political about any of them. I see lots of beautiful pictures of gorgeous places that just makes my travel list all that much longer. So far I have seen nice pleasant people. With facebook over the last few months I have seen nothing but political crap from both sides, mean people saying nasty things, tons of advertising. That is just our view but everyone has to make their own decision on the matter, plus you don't have to give up Facebook you can do both. And trust me, Facebook has tons on inaccurate information, just like most social media platforms, to say nothing about all the News agencies, even they don't get things right anymore!Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-12786203028227872222020-11-14T15:47:19.331-05:002020-11-14T15:47:19.331-05:00Looks very pretty there.

I did read up on MeWe, as I thought it sounded intriguing, but I learned that there has a been a huge influx of new subscribers disgruntled about the US Presidential election, and I decided to give it a pass for now. Perhaps I'll give it a try when things settle down, but I have too many friends and family members I follow on Facebook to give up on FB completely, even with the many things I dislike about it. I do appreciate that they make at least some attempt to label misinformation, while MeWe does not. I am sure the Kevin and Ruth page there would be just fine, though!Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15572905521059358017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-64247032484608387102020-11-14T02:26:17.407-05:002020-11-14T02:26:17.407-05:00Thank you Rawn, we certainly are having a fantasti...Thank you Rawn, we certainly are having a fantastic time, it is no wonder why the time as gone by so fast.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-8835227783496382442020-11-14T01:36:22.383-05:002020-11-14T01:36:22.383-05:00Wow, time goes fast when you're having a blast...Wow, time goes fast when you're having a blast! 1 whole month.

We look back though and see all the things we have done and wonder how we fit that all into just one month, lol.<br /><br />We have no doubt that that beach would be full in the summer, we are glad that we aren't here in the high season especially if it was a normal year!Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-43831477242546833262020-11-14T00:09:36.887-05:002020-11-14T00:09:36.887-05:00Time flies when you are having fun.

We don't have to be out of Turkey until January 11th or so, so it will probably be a last minute decision.Kevin Readhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05795747155781311686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-43969043842361100722020-11-13T13:07:15.261-05:002020-11-13T13:07:15.261-05:00Nice that you are enjoying your time in Turkey.
