Smyrna - Running on empty and a wild goose chase
... a clerk queried his computer and came up negative. No Tatev in the directory. We told her the full story about the Homer (we left out the bits about the Trojan horse and Hercules' labors even thought it would have helped pass time on this rainy afternoon) Iliad. She clarified that she taught Basic English (just a few alphabets and words, perhaps an odd sentence or two) in this department.

Many of the locals were willing to try to help us find our way, but it seemed like each one had a slightly different version of where we should turn to find our hotel.
